Abstract
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has exploded onto the public scene over the past 2 yr. It is important for the general internist to have a balanced working knowledge of this subject because: 1) AAA is very common; 2) many patients have heard about endovascular repairs, and will turn to their internists for advice; and 3) some of the centers offering endovascular grafting promote themselves in the media in ways that may not be scientifically balanced.
