Background • Benefits of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been extensively investigated • Access type utilized in EVAR such as percutaneous compared to open surgical access is associated with lower morbidity • Limited data on access type when treating ruptured AAA with EVAR
Objective • To evaluate if access type utilized during EVAR for ruptured AAA affected outcomes
Methods • Vascular Quality Initiative • 2009 to 2018 • Ruptured AAA treated with index EVAR • Excluded iliac access, both percutaneous and open access, and concurrent bypass • Procedures grouped by access type: percutaneous, open, and conversion to open from failed percutaneous • Univariable and multivariable analyses performed for baseline characteristics, procedure details, and outcomes
Results • 1,206 ruptured AAAs identified
Results P<.001 P=.026 P<.001 P=.022

Results P<.001 188.7±75.1 152.6±74.2 133.4±85.8
Results P<.001
Multivariable analysis Length of Stay Predictors for Conversion to Open From Failed Percutaneous
Limitations • Retrospective study • Limited follow up • Selection bias for access type
Conclusion • Access type for ruptured AAA did not significantly affect major morbidity or mortality • Percutaneous access had the shortest operative time • However, failed percutaneous access had the longest operative time • Access utilized during these emergent procedures should be based on surgeon preference and experience
