Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is a new, less-invasive approach to traditional AAA repair. This innovative technique may provide the patient with significant benefits, including a less-invasive procedure, fewer postoperative complications, and early discharge home. In many cases, the patient will be transferred after the procedure to the PACU and then discharged to the general floor or telemetry unit, eliminating the need for an ICU stay.
