Endograft Pros
• Quicker recovery
and shorter hospital stay
than with open surgery. (2-3 days)
• Slightly lower
operative risk.
Endograft Cons
• Newer procedure, with unproven
long-term track
record (though results are encouraging thus far).
• Requires lifelong
Cat Scan followup at least yearly.
• Small incidence
of late rupture.
• Many aneurysms
are anatomically unsuitable for
endograft treatment.
