There was a defendant verdict in 53% (n = 141), plaintiff verdict in 24% (n = 65), and settlements in 23% (n = 62) of lawsuits. Litigation was higher in the Midwest and Northeast. There was a gradual decline in litigation overall, however endovascular case numbers remained constant. There was negligible difference in the primary allegation underlying the litigation for various aortic pathologies, time to litigation and award between open and endovascular procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The proportion of litigation for clinical negligence in endovascular cases amongst all vascular surgical lawsuits is increasing.
