Does EVAR alter the rate of cardiovascular events in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm considered unfit for open repair?
Cardiovascular event rates were high in these unfit patients and medical therapy was sub-optimal. Events rates were slightly higher in the EVAR group but this was not statistically significant.
Low-income black preschool children do not necessarily "outgrow" their obesity. These findings have implications for optimal timing of obesity interventions and suggest the need for an increasing focus on children during the early preschool years.
