Uncertainty surrounds the optimal treatment strategy for abdominal aortic aneurysm in young patients. Meta-analysis of some 48,976 young patients showed that endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has a lower perioperative mortality and morbidity and a shorter hospital and intensive care unit stay than open surgical repair, but the overall and aneurysm-related mortality in the short to medium term are not significantly different between EVAR and open repair. EVAR can be considered in young patients.
