The Impact of Surgeon Experience—Consultant Versus Supervised Trainees After Elective Infrarenal EVAR: Short-term to Mid-term Outcomes
In carefully selected cases, elective EVAR performed by supervised trainees seems safe, when compared to operations performed by consultants. Short-term major adverse events, contrast usage, operative time, bleeding, secondary interventions and length of stay appear similar. Mid-term freedom-from aortic interventions is comparable. These findings may have important implications for vascular training programs.
