What are the cost-effectiveness and quality of life outcomes for patients undergoing open aortic repair versus stent insertion for aortic aneurysms?

EVAR offers short-term benefits over OSR, including reduced perioperative mortality and faster recovery, but it is generally more expensive and associated with higher long-term costs and reintervention rates. OSR provides better long-term outcomes with lower reintervention needs, making the choice between these procedures dependent on individual patient factors and healthcare settings.
