Fifteen years ago, the only option for patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) that required either elective or emergent repair was an open surgical approach using a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal incision. Now with the advent of endovascular approaches to aortic diseases, many patients, especially those in the high-risk groups, have a minimally invasive option to permit repair of aortic aneurysms, dissections, pseudoaneurysms, and ruptures. 

Access problems occur with either the percutaneous approach or open surgical approach to the vessels for endograft insertion. The femoral artery may be injured and require immediate repair with a patch or replacement of a segment. In addition, distal thrombosis may occur from the blockage of the flow into the lower extremities by the sheath and... 

Subvalvular myectomy has a reported success of more than 90% with a mortality rate of less than 2%, but this therapy is not applicable to every patient.
