Abstract： @@ Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has a high propensity to rupture. Repair of AAA by conventional surgical replacement with a graft has been the standard of treatment since the mid 1960s.Because of advances in surgical, anaesthetic and intensive care techniques, the outcome of elective open AAA repair has improved constantly. However,with the improvement of endovascular techniques,the role of open repair is being challenged.1 More and more stents are being deployed in patients because of their less invasive characteristics.2 We reviewed our ten years of experience with elective open AAA repair and recent papers about endoluminal and open repair for AAA to discuss status and future of open repair for AAA in China.
