Abstract
This thesis is dedicated to examining the latest epidemiologic trends in aortic surgery, with
a particular focus on the impact of advanced expertise in endovascular techniques on
surgical outcomes. It evaluates the evolution of aortic surgery into the third decade of en
dovascular repair modalities and the consequent effects on the field. Furthermore, it evalu
ates several general and specific opportunities for improving outcomes in aortic surgery,
stratified by specific patient subgroups. Lastly, this thesis elaborates on the contemporary
decision-making processes between endovascular and open surgery for both infrarenal and
complex aneurysms, thus including those with a juxtarenal proximal extent.
