Most patients undergoing elective endovascular UIA repair in the United States are admitted to the ICU postoperatively. Only 12.7% have ICU needs, and these patients are predictable from pre-operative characteristics or peri-operative complications. Reducing ICU use in this subgroup of patients may be an important target to improve healthcare value in this patient population.
