Papers of the Month - Oct 1998
I receive so many requests for info about what institutions are involved in the endovascular
aneurysm repair trials and how to contact the key people, I have decided to put up two
such lists as a Paper of the Month feature. Eventually, I expect to post it more prominently
as a link near the top of the home page. To the best of my knowledge, the two largest and
most nearly complete trials are the Aneuryx and the EVT. Here goes:
