Kaplan–Meier's method to estimate survival from any cause and AAA-related survival in the very long-term follow-up in the EVAR I trial. In the first 2 years, EVAR gives an advantage in survivals, but this advantage is lost after 2 years of follow-up and after 12 years, the open repair offers an advantage in survival.
