Abstract:	The present paper proposed to gather and underline the new developments and evidence at hand in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), focusing especially on the endovascular treatment (EVAR) and the surveillance of EVAR performed for AAA. The intention was to identify the existing controversies, identify a problem and give way to new research possibilities in this direction.
