Fig 1 Percentage of patients who died ≤30 days after elective open aneurysm repair (OAR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), stratified by the modified frailty index (mFI). An increasing mFI indicates higher frailty. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2015 61, 324-331DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2014.08.115) Copyright © 2015 Terms and Conditions
