Background.
This paper presents unpublished clinical and economic data associated with open surgical repair (OSR) in low risk (LR) patients and how it compares with EVAR and OSR in high risk (HR) patients with an AAA > 5.5 cm.
Design.
Data from a 1-year prospective observational study was used to compare EVAR in HR patients versus OSR in HR and LR patients.
Results.
Between 2003 and 2005, 140 patients were treated with EVAR and 195 with OSR (HR: 52; LR: 143).
The 1-year mortality rate with EVAR was statistically lower than HR OSR patients and comparable to LR OSR patients.
One-year health-related quality of life was lower in the EVAR patients compared to OSR patients.
EVAR was cost-effective compared to OSR HR but not when compared to OSR LR patients.
Conclusions.
Despite a similar clinical effectiveness, these results suggest that, at the current price, EVAR is more expensive than open repair for low risk patients.
