Comparison of anesthesia technique on outcomes of endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms: a five-year review of monitored anesthesia care with local anesthesia vs. general or regional anesthesia.

The results of this study suggest that use of MAC with local anesthesia during EVAR of AAAs is comparable to general and regional anesthesia in terms of safety and efficacy. Furthermore, MAC with local anesthesia confers additional outcome benefits versus general and regional anesthesia, as it is less invasive, offers greater hemodynamic stability, and enables better communication with the patient.
