Why do most practitioners feel that choosing between endovascular repair with endoleaks or EVAR graft migration and open surgical repair is a toss up considering the complexity of EVAR? Is it time for a combination of techniques and a hybrid laparoscopic endovascular procedure with better immediate health outcomes and no reinterventions post procedure?
