    Objective: EVAR should be performed using a less invasive procedure based on the patient’s clinical condition, as many patients who undergo this procedure are elderly and have poor surgical tolerance. We report our experience and results of percutaneous EVAR under local anesthesia in order to practice minimally invasive EVAR at our hospital. Methods: In August 2019, we started percutaneous EVAR using Perclose Proglide under local anesthesia. We compared the backgrounds and surgical outcomes of patients who underwent EVAR at our hospital before and after the introduction of percutaneous EVAR under local anesthesia. Results: We included 148 patients in this study. The age at surgery and prevalence of severe renal dysfunction were significantly higher in percutaneous EVAR under local anesthesia group. The operative time and postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter in the percutaneous EVAR group under local anesthesia. Conclusion: The introduction of percutaneous EVAR under local anesthesia enabled minimally invasive EVAR to be performed safely even in high-risk patients.
