1 Improved survival after introduction of an emergency endovascular therapy protocol for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms  Randy Moore, MD, FRCSC, Mark Nutley, MD, FRCSC, Claudio S. Cina, MD, FRCSC, Mona Motamedi, BA, Peter Faris, PhD, Wesam Abuznadah, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 45, Issue 3, Pages (March 2007) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Emergency ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) endovascular repair (EVAR) algorithm. *Permissive hypotension is defined as state of consciousness with a systolic blood pressure >80 mm Hg. Endovascular on call is defined as the availability of a vascular surgeon with endovascular privileges. CTA, Computed tomography angiography.

3 Fig 2 Cumulative sum (CUSUM) plot for all repairs. Vertical dashed line indicates the introduction of the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) protocol. After the introduction of the protocol, the lower CUSUM line crosses the “superior” line within 35 surgeries (P = .059).

4 Fig 3 Cumulative sum (CUSUM) plots for (A) endovascular aneurysm repair and (B) open repairs after the introduction of the EVAR protocol. Note the stable performance of open repairs, with a trend towards improvement in the performance of endovascular repairs.
