Cost-effectiveness analysis of elective endovascular repair compared with open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms for patients at a high surgical risk: A 1-year patient-level analysis conducted in Ontario, Canada
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a prevalent health condition affecting up to 14% of men and 6% of women.
