pubmed:abstractText
Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be treated by transfemoral endovascular intervention and by conventional open surgery. Level-one evidence of the safety and efficacy of one treatment mode over the other is only provided by a randomised controlled trial (RCT). Results reported by voluntary registries are considered less valid than data from RCTs. On the other hand the outcome of a RCT may not be generalisable to the common practice because of vigorous selection of patients and institutions.
