Rationale

The stale citation esvs 2024 editors has been replaced with the superseding ESVS 2024 guideline ESVS (PMID 41801947), which covers the same claim that endovascular techniques are now standard for most aneurysms. Per the stale guideline replacement instructions, the old citation is removed and the newer one substituted in its place, as both support the same claim and there is no distinct historical context requiring retention of the original.

Content Changes

* endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), FEVAR, BEVAR [@oderich2017], PMEG [@katsargyris2017] now standard for most aneurysms [@esvs2024-editors][@esvs2024] (see [[abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)]] and [[TAAA]]).
* Complex aortic repairs increasingly endovascular, with open reserved for select cases [@esc2014].
* SFA and iliac interventions dominated by **drug-coated balloons (DCB)** [@tepe2015], **drug-eluting stents (DES)** [@dake2011], and bioresorbable scaffolds (see [[peripheral arterial disease (PAD)]]) [@esc2017].
