This is our initial report on the first 4 cases of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysms undergoing Endovascular
Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) with local anaesthesia, controlled
sedation and monitoring by an anaesthetist. All 4 patients
were males with a mean age of 66.7 years. Only one (1)
required ICU stay of 2 days for cardiac monitoring due to
bradycardia and transient hypotension post procedure. No
mortality or major post operative morbidity was recorded
and the mean hospital stay post procedure was 3.5 days
(range 2-5 days).
