Failure to Rescue Is Associated With Operative Volume and Complications Pattern After Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

A volume-outcome relationship has been established for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair; however, this association for either endovascular (EVAR) or open (OAR) repair of ruptured AAA (rAAA) remains unclear. Moreover, the ability to prevent and/or treat complications associated with postoperative death is increasingly recognized as an important driver of outcome variation after elective operations, but less is known about...
