How does the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in Baltimore PC evaluate the continued failure rates of stent-graft repair? 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 […]
