Repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm is recommended in men with an aneurysm of 5.5 cm or more and in women with an aneurysm of 5.0 cm or more. In randomized trials, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair was associated with a lower risk of perioperative complications and death than open surgical repair, but mortality was similar after approximately 2 years. After endovascular repair, long-term imaging surveillance is recommended.
