What is Open & Endovascular Aneurysm repair?

Repair of an aneurysm can be done in one of two ways. Open repair has been there since the 50s and since the mid 90s, endovascular repair has become the first line treatment in many occasions. This is due to the fact it is less in magnitude and patients can return home and work much faster. Professor Mussa explains these difference to help you understand the decisions you make.
