Objective
The adoption of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) during the past two decades has led to significantly shorter length of stay as well as lower hospital resource use. Currently, most patients are admitted to the hospital after EVAR; however, there are no standard observation periods, and timing of discharge is based on clinical judgment. The aim of this study was to confirm the safety and feasibility of performing EVAR as outpatient surgery.Methods
We developed criteria to identify patients for potential same-day discharge (infrarenal aneurysm, low perioperative risk, to be accompanied for first 24 hours). We then implemented a prospective trial that observed patients planned for same-day discharge and compared them with a historical control group (patients who had undergone EVAR during the previous 2 years and met same-day discharge criteria). Basic demographic and operative data as well as length of stay, inpatient and perioperative complications, emergency department visits, readmissions, reinterventions, and deaths were collected. The primary outcome was the 30-day complication rate, and the study was powered to assess noninferiority.Results
Prospectively, we assessed 266 patients and planned 110 (41%) for outpatient EVAR (62% of historical controls met outpatient criteria). Demographic characteristics were similar between planned outpatients and historical controls. In planned outpatients, hospital stay was significantly shorter (0.7 ± 2.6 days vs 2.5 ± 6.9 days; P < .01), and 79% were discharged the same day of surgery. The 30-day follow-up was available for all study patients and 94% of control patients; there were no differences in complication (11% vs 9%), readmission (2% vs 4%), reintervention (4% vs 4%), or mortality (1% vs 1%) rates, but study patients had significantly more emergency department visits (15% vs 6%; P < .05). Unsuccessful same-day discharge was associated with longer operative times, increased blood loss, and use of general anesthesia.Conclusions
In selected patients undergoing elective EVAR, same-day discharge is feasible without increasing complication rates. Health resource utilization remains a challenge in transitioning to an outpatient model. 相似文献2.

Objective
Reducing readmissions is an important target for improving patient care and enhancing health care quality and cost-effectiveness. The aim of this study was to assess rates, risk factors, and indications of 30-day readmission after open aortic repair (OAR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).Methods
A retrospective analysis of the Premier Healthcare Database from 2009 to 2015 was performed. Indications for readmission after the index procedure, risk factors, and outcomes of the index admission and rehospitalization were evaluated. Multivariate logistic models were used to assess the association between 30-day readmission and different patient and hospital factors.Results
A total of 33,332 AAA repair procedures were identified: 27,483 (82.5%) EVAR and 5849 (17.5%) OAR. The overall rate of 30-day readmission was 8.1%, and it was greater after OAR (12.9% vs 7.1% in EVAR; P < .001). In general, the most common specific readmission diagnoses were infectious complications (16.1%), followed by respiratory and cardiac complications (11.8% and 11.3%, respectively). After multivariate adjustment, OAR was associated with higher 30-day readmission compared with EVAR (adjusted odds ratio, 1.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-1.2; P = .04). Other risk factors of 30-day readmission included female gender, emergency and urgent procedures, certain patient comorbidities (dyslipidemia, congestive heart failure, history of transient ischemic attack, previous cardiac surgery, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, chronic kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, and history of malignant disease), and hemorrhage/shock/bleeding occurring during the index admission as well as nonhome discharge. Readmitted patients had an overall in-hospital mortality of 3.6% and paid a median rehospitalization cost of $7757.Conclusions
Our study shows that around 8.1% of patients undergoing infrarenal AAA repair were readmitted within 30 days. Because many readmissions are unrelated to the index procedure or caused by factors that are nonmodifiable or nonidentifiable at discharge, efforts should focus on discharge planning and improving the decision process regarding discharge destination as well as postdischarge coordination of care for high-risk patients. 相似文献3.

Objective
Although reinterventions are generally considered more common after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) than after open surgical repair (OSR), less is known about reintervention in the early postoperative period. Furthermore, there are few data regarding the impact of early reintervention on 30-day mortality. We sought to evaluate the rates and types of reintervention after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair and the impact of reintervention on postoperative mortality.Methods
The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) was queried from 2012 to 2014 for all intact, infrarenal AAA repairs. The 30-day reintervention was classified by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Univariate analysis comparing patients with and without reintervention was performed with the Fisher exact test and Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of reintervention and to assess the association between 30-day reintervention and mortality.Results
We identified 5877 patients (OSR, 658 [11%]; EVAR, 5219 [89%]), of whom 261 underwent reintervention (OSR, 7.1%; EVAR, 4.1%; P < .01). Patients who underwent reintervention had larger aortic diameter (median, 5.7 cm vs 5.5 cm; P < .01), were more often symptomatic at presentation (16% vs 9.1%; P < .01), and were more likely to have renal insufficiency (7.7% vs 3.6%; P < .01) and history of prior abdominal operations (32% vs 26%; P = .04). Patients who underwent reintervention had higher 30-day mortality (OSR, 28% vs 2.8% [P < .001]; EVAR, 12% vs 1.0% [P < .001]) and major complications. Factors significantly associated with reintervention included open repair, diameter, symptom status, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. After adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, and type of repair, reintervention was independently associated with 30-day mortality after EVAR and OSR (odds ratio, 13; 95% confidence interval, 8-22; P < .001).Conclusions
Compared with EVAR, patients undergoing open infrarenal AAA repair were significantly more likely to undergo 30-day reintervention, which could be related to higher open anatomic complexity and lower experience of the surgeon with open repair. Reintervention after both EVAR and OSR was associated with a >10-fold increase in postoperative mortality, emphasizing the need to minimize the complications associated with reintervention. 相似文献4.

Background
As endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) continues to advance, eligibility of patients with anatomically complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) for EVAR is increasing. However, whether complex EVAR is associated with favorable outcome over conventional open repair and how outcomes compare with infrarenal EVAR remains unclear. This study examined perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing complex EVAR, focusing on differences with complex open repair and standard infrarenal EVAR.Methods
We identified all patients undergoing nonruptured complex EVAR, complex open repair, and infrarenal EVAR in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Targeted Vascular Module. Aneurysms were considered complex if the proximal extent was juxtarenal or suprarenal or when the Zenith Fenestrated endograft (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Ind) was used. Independent risks were established using multivariable logistic regression analysis.Results
Included were 4584 patients, with 411 (9.0%) undergoing complex EVAR, 395 (8.6%) undergoing complex open repair, and 3778 (82.4%) undergoing infrarenal EVAR. Perioperative mortality was 3.4% after complex EVAR, 6.6% after open repair (P = .038), and 1.5% after infrarenal EVAR (P = .005). Postoperative acute kidney injuries occurred in 2.3% of complex EVAR patients, in 9.5% of those undergoing complex open repair (P < .001), and in 0.9% of infrarenal EVAR patients (P = .007). Compared with complex EVAR, complex open repair was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR], 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-4.4), renal function deterioration (OR, 4.8; 95% CI, 2.2-10.5), and any complication (OR, 3.7; 95% CI, 2.5-5.5). When complex vs infrarenal EVAR were compared, infrarenal EVAR was associated with favorable 30-day mortality (OR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.2-0.9), and renal outcome (OR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-0.9).Conclusions
In this study assessing the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing repair for anatomically complex AAAs, complex EVAR had fewer complications than complex open repair but carried a higher risk of adverse outcomes than infrarenal EVAR. Further research is warranted to determine whether the benefits of EVAR compared with open repair for complex AAA treatment are maintained during long-term follow-up. 相似文献5.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether maximal aortic diameter affects outcome after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).Methods
Clinical data of patients undergoing EVAR between 1997 and 2011 for nonruptured asymptomatic AAAs in a tertiary center were reviewed. Patients were classified according to diameter of AAA: group 1, <5.0 cm; group 2, 5.0 to 5.4 cm; group 3, 5.5 to 5.9 cm; and group 4, ≥6.0 cm. The primary end point was all-cause mortality; secondary end points were complications, reinterventions, and ruptures.Results
There were 874 patients studied (female, 108 [12%]; group 1, 119; group 2, 246; group 3, 243; group 4, 266); mean age was 76 ± 7.2 years. The 30-day mortality rate was 1.0%, not significantly different between groups (P = .22); complication and reintervention rates were 13% and 4.1%, respectively, similar between groups (P < .05). Five-year survival was 68%; freedom from complications and reinterventions was 65% and 74%, respectively; rupture rate was 0.5%. Multivariate analysis revealed that factors associated with all-cause mortality included maximal aortic diameter, age, gender, surgical risk, cancer history, and endograft type (P < .05). Group 4 had increased risks of mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.38-2.85; P = .002) and complications (HR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.2-2.7; P = .009) relative to group 1. Reinterventions were more frequent for aneurysms ≥6.0 cm (HR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2-3.3; P = .01). Late rupture rate after EVAR was not different between groups.Conclusions
Maximal aortic diameter is associated with long-term outcomes after elective EVAR. Patients with large AAAs (≥6.0 cm) have higher all-cause mortality, complication, and reintervention rates after EVAR than those with smaller aneurysms. We continue to recommend that AAAs be repaired when they reach 5.5 cm as recommended by the guidelines of the Society for Vascular Surgery. On the basis of our data, EVAR should be considered even in high-risk patients with a maximal aortic diameter between 5.5 and 6.0 cm because surgical risk with aneurysm size above 6.0 cm will increase significantly. 相似文献6.

Objective
Concurrent renal artery angioplasty and stenting (RAAS) during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been practiced in an attempt to maintain renal perfusion. The aim of this study was to identify the current practice of RAAS during EVAR and its effect on perioperative renal outcome.Methods
Patients with infrarenal AAA were identified from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP, 2011-2014) database. Baseline characteristics of patients with concurrent RAAS during EVAR were compared with those of patients who underwent EVAR only. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses controlling for patients' demographics, comorbidities, and operative factors were used to evaluate the predictors of 30-day acute renal failure (ARF). Sensitivity analysis was done to evaluate the role of RAAS in patients with prior kidney disease.Results
Overall, 6183 patients underwent EVAR for infrarenal AAA during the study period. Of them, 281 patients had RAAS during EVAR (4.5%). The median age of the patients was 74 years; 81.7% of the cohort was male, but a higher proportion of female patients received EVAR + RAAS compared with patients who underwent EVAR only (26.3% vs 17.9%; P < .001). There was no difference between groups in terms of comorbidities, being on dialysis, or functional status, yet the EVAR + RAAS group had a higher proportion of patients with glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (45.2% vs 37.2%; P = .011). RAAS was associated with significantly higher odds for development of ARF (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.06-8.84; P < .001). Other highly predictive factors of 30-day ARF were glomerular filtration rate <60 (aOR, 2.92; 95% CI, 1.47-5.78; P = .002), emergency status (aOR, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.21-7.27; P = .017), and ruptured AAA as the indication for EVAR (aOR, 4.74; 95% CI, 1.80-12.50; P = .002). Patients with prior kidney disease who had EVAR + RAAS demonstrated a 12-fold higher odds for 30-day ARF (aOR, 12.37; 95% CI, 4.66-32.89; P < .001).Conclusions
Concurrent RAAS was found to be a significant determinant of adverse renal outcomes after EVAR for infrarenal AAA. This effect was present even after controlling for patients' risk factors that might contribute to postoperative ARF. 相似文献7.

Objective
Renal complications after repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, limited data have assessed risk factors for renal complications in the endovascular era. This study aimed to identify predictors of renal complications after endovascular AAA repair (EVAR) and open repair.Methods
Patients who underwent EVAR or open repair of a nonruptured infrarenal AAA between 2011 and 2013 were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project Targeted Vascular module. Patients on hemodialysis preoperatively were excluded. Renal complications were defined as new postoperative dialysis or creatinine increase >2 mg/dL. Patient demographics, comorbidities, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), operative details, and outcomes were compared using univariate analysis between those with and without renal complications. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of renal complications.Results
We identified 4503 patients who underwent elective repair of an infrarenal AAA (EVAR: 3869, open repair: 634). Renal complication occurred in 1% of patients after EVAR and in 5% of patients after open repair. There were no differences in comorbidities between patients with and without renal complications. A preoperative GFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 occurred more frequently among patients with renal complications (EVAR: 81% vs 37%, P < .01; open: 60% vs 34%, P < .01). The 30-day mortality was also significantly increased (EVAR: 55% vs 1%, P < .01; open: 30% vs 4%, P < .01). After adjustment, renal complications were strongly associated with 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR], 38.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 20.4-71.9). Independent predictors of renal complications included GFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 (OR, 4.6; 95% CI, 2.4-8.7), open repair (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.3-5.3), transfusion (OR, 6.1; 95% CI, 3.0-12.6), and prolonged operative time (OR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.6-5.6).Conclusions
Predictors of renal complications include elevated baseline GFR, open approach, transfusion, and prolonged operative time. Given the dramatic increase in mortality associated with renal complications, care should be taken to use renal protective strategies, achieve meticulous hemostasis to limit transfusions, and to use an endovascular approach when technically feasible. 相似文献8.

Background
Open conversions (OC) due to failed endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) are technically demanding because of preexisting prostheses and advanced aortic disease. This study evaluates the feasibility and outcomes of aorto-uniiliac endografting (AUI) as an alternative treatment option in acute failed EVAR.Methods
From March 1995 through February 2012, 26 patients underwent acute conversion of failed EVAR at our tertiary care university center. All data were prospectively entered in our institutional database. Outcomes included 30-day or in-hospital mortality, postoperative complications, and mid-term survival.Results
During the investigation period, a total of 692 patients received EVAR at our institution, while five of the 26 patients with acute conversion (19.2%) had an initial EVAR at an outlying institution and were referred for treatment. Therefore, our estimated institutional rate of acute conversions was 3% (21 of 692 EVAR). OC were performed in 14 patients (53.8%), while 12 patients underwent AUI (46.2%). An average time of 20.3 months (median: 18.6; interquartile range Q1–Q3: 0.0–38.6) elapsed between the initial EVAR and the acute conversion. All acute AUI conversion procedures were completed successfully. The 30-day mortality following acute conversions was 42.3% and since the use of AUI, it could be reduced to 33.3%. Kaplan–Meier estimates revealed a survival advantage for AUI at one year (p = 0.046), but the benefit was lost by mid-term follow-up (p = 0.103).Conclusions
AUI for the treatment of acute failed EVAR represents a feasible and less invasive alternative to OC, and is associated with better one-year survival rates. 相似文献9.

Objective
The targeted vascular module in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) consists of self-selected hospitals that choose to collect extra clinical details for better risk adjustment and improved procedure-specific outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare patient selection and outcomes between targeted and nontargeted hospitals in the NSQIP regarding the operative management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).Methods
We identified all patients who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or open AAA repair from 2011 to 2013 and compared cases by whether the operation took place in a targeted or nontargeted hospital. EVAR and open repair as well as intact and ruptured aneurysms were evaluated separately. Only variables contained in both modules were used to evaluate rupture status and operation type. All thoracoabdominal aneurysms were excluded. Univariate analysis was performed for intact and ruptured EVAR and open repair grouped by complexity, defined as visceral involvement in open repair and a compilation of concomitant procedures for EVAR. Multivariable models were developed to identify effect of hospital type on mortality.Results
There were 17,651 AAA repairs identified. After exclusion of aneurysms involving the thoracic aorta (n = 352), there were 1600 open AAA repairs at targeted hospitals (21% ruptured) and 2725 at nontargeted hospitals (19% ruptured) and 4986 EVARs performed at targeted hospitals (6.7% ruptured) and 7988 at nontargeted hospitals (5.2% ruptured). There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality rates between targeted and nontargeted hospitals for intact aneurysms (EVAR noncomplex, 1.8% vs 1.4% [P = .07]; open repair noncomplex, 4.2% vs 4.5% [P = .7]; EVAR complex, 5.0% vs 3.2% [P = .3]; open repair complex, 8.0% vs 6.0% [P = .2]). For ruptured aneurysms, again there was no difference in mortality between the targeted and nontargeted hospitals (EVAR noncomplex, 23% vs 25% [P = .4]; open repair noncomplex, 38% vs 34% [P = .2]; EVAR complex, 29% vs 33% [P = 1.0]; open repair complex, 27% vs 41% [P = .09]). Multivariable analysis further demonstrated that having an operation at a targeted vs nontargeted hospital had no impact on mortality for both intact and ruptured aneurysms (odds ratio, 1.1 [0.9-1.4] and 1.0 [0.8-1.3], respectively).Conclusions
This analysis highlights the similarities between targeted and nontargeted hospitals within the NSQIP for AAA operative management and suggests that data from the targeted NSQIP, in terms of AAA management, are generalizable to all NSQIP hospitals. 相似文献10.
Background
The optimal timing for performing appendectomy in adults remains controversial.Method
A one-year retrospective review of adult patients with acute appendicitis who underwent appendectomy. The cohort was divided by time-to-intervention into two groups: patients who underwent appendectomy within 8 h (group 1), and those who had surgery after 8 h (group 2). Outcome measures including perioperative morbidity and mortality, post-operative length of stay, and the 30-day readmission rate were compared between the two groups.Results
A total of 116 patients who underwent appendectomy met the inclusion criteria: 75 patients (65%) in group 1, and 41 (35%) in group 2. There were no differences between group 1 & 2 in perioperative complications (6.7% vs. 9.8%, P = 0.483), postoperative length of stay (median [IQR]; 19.5 [11.5–40.5] vs. 20.0 [11.25–58.5] hours, P = 0.632), or 30-day readmission rate (2.7% vs. 4.9%, P = 0.543). There were no deaths in either group.Conclusion
Delayed appendectomy performed more than 8 h was not associated with increased perioperative complications, postoperative length of stay, 30-day readmission rate, or mortality. 相似文献11.

Background
Our study compares 30-day vs. 90-day mortality following colorectal cancer surgery (CRS), and examines hospital performance ranking based on this assessment.Methods
Mortality rates were compared between 30 vs. 90 days following CRS for patients with stage I-III colorectal cancers from the National Cancer Database (2004–2012). Risk-adjusted hierarchical regression models evaluated hospital performance based on mortality. Hospitals were ranked into top (10%), middle (80%), and lowest (10%) performance groups.Results
Among 185,464 patients, 90-day mortality was nearly double the 30-day mortality (4.4% vs. 2.5%). Following risk adjustment 176 hospitals changed performance ranking: 39% in the top 30-day mortality group changed ranking to the middle group; 37% of hospitals in the lowest 30-day group changed ranking to the middle 90-day group.Conclusions
Evaluation of hospital performance based on 30-day mortality is associated with misclassification for 15% of hospitals. Ninety-day mortality may be a better quality metric in oncologic CRS. 相似文献12.

Objective
Preoperative anemia and blood transfusions are associated with worse outcomes after surgery. However, the impact of preoperative anemia and transfusions on outcomes after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is unknown.Methods
CEA patients from 2011 to 2015 in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Targeted Vascular module were compared by the presence of preoperative anemia (hematocrit <36%) after stratification by symptom status. Multivariable analysis accounted for differences in baseline characteristics. We included an interaction term in our multivariable model to assess whether the effect of anemia differed significantly between patients who received a perioperative transfusion and those who did not, with 30-day mortality as our primary outcome.Results
Of 16,068 patients, 6734 (42%) were symptomatic, of whom 1500 (22%) had anemia. Of the 9334 asymptomatic patients, 1935 (21%) had anemia. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic anemic patients were more likely to be transfused perioperatively compared with nonanemic patients, with 7.0% vs 0.4%, and 5.8% vs 0.7% (both P < .001). Among symptomatic patients, those with anemia compared with those without had a higher rate of 30-day mortality (2.5% vs 0.7%; P < .001). After adjustment, anemic symptomatic patients had a higher 30-day mortality risk (odds ratio [OR], 3.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9-5.0; P < .001) compared with nonanemic symptomatic patients. In addition, in symptomatic patients, we found a significant interaction between anemia and perioperative transfusion on the outcome of 30-day mortality (P = .004), with a higher risk in perioperatively transfused symptomatic patients with anemia (OR, 7.8; 95% CI, 3.4-18.0; P < .001) than in symptomatic patients with anemia who did not receive a perioperative transfusion (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.4-3.9; P = .002). In asymptomatic patients, anemic and nonanemic patients had comparable 30-day mortality rates (0.9% vs 0.6%; P = .2). After adjustment, anemia was not associated with 30-day mortality in asymptomatic patients (OR, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.5-2.0; P = .9), nor did we identify an interaction between anemia and perioperative transfusion in asymptomatic patients (P = .1). Patients who received a preoperative transfusion had a higher 30-day mortality rate than anemic patients not receiving preoperative transfusion in both symptomatic (n = 31, 9.7% vs 2.5%; P = .04) and asymptomatic patients (n = 21, 9.5% vs 0.9%; P = .02).Conclusions
Preoperative anemia is a risk factor for 30-day mortality after CEA in symptomatic patients but not in asymptomatic patients. These results should be factored into the selection of symptomatic patients for CEA and dissuade treatment of asymptomatic patients scheduled for CEA who need a preoperative transfusion. 相似文献13.

Objective
Anemia is associated with increased cardiac adverse events during the early postoperative period because of high physiologic stress and increased cardiac demand. The aim of this study was to assess the surgical outcomes and prognostic implications of anemia in patients undergoing repair of intact abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).Methods
A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent open aortic repair (OAR) or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in the Vascular Quality Initiative database (2008-2017) was performed. Patients with preoperative polycythemia, patients with ruptured aneurysms, and patients transfused with >4 units of packed red blood cells were excluded. Hemoglobin levels were categorized into three groups: moderate-severe anemia (<10 g/dL), mild anemia (10-12 g/dL in women and 10-13 g/dL in men), and no anemia (>12 g/dL in women and >13 g/dL in men). Multivariate logistic models and coarsened exact matching were used to analyze the association between anemia and 30-day mortality and between anemia and major in-hospital complications after OAR and EVAR.Results
A total of 34,397 patients were identified undergoing AAA repair. Of those, 28.5% had mild anemia and 4.3% had moderate-severe anemia. In both OAR (n = 6112) and EVAR (n = 28,285), patients with moderate-severe anemia had significantly higher rates of in-hospital adverse events, such as in-hospital mortality, myocardial infarction, renal and respiratory complications, and reoperation, compared with patients with mild or no anemia. They also had higher rates of 30-day mortality. After multivariate analysis and 1:1 coarsened exact matching, no association was found between anemia and 30-day mortality and other in-hospital outcomes in patients undergoing OAR. On the other hand, in EVAR, moderate-severe anemia was associated with 2.7 times the odds of 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR], 2.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69-4.18), 2.5 times the odds of renal complications (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.78-3.43; P < .05), and twice the risk of acute congestive heart failure (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.18-3.25) and respiratory complications (OR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.26-3.19). Mild anemia was also associated with increased odds of 30-day mortality and renal and respiratory complications in patients undergoing EVAR. Interestingly, preoperative blood transfusion in mildly anemic patients undergoing EVAR was associated with double the odds of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (stroke, death, and myocardial infarction; OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.38-3.11; P < .001).Conclusions
Preoperative anemia is associated with higher odds of 30-day mortality and in-hospital adverse outcomes after EVAR but not after OAR. These findings highlight the need to incorporate anemia into the preoperative risk assessment of patients undergoing EVAR. Future studies are needed to assess the efficacy of medical therapies in improving postoperative outcomes in anemic patients undergoing AAA repair. 相似文献14.
Purpose
To present a real-world experience of the elective treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) using both open repair (OR) and endovascular repair (EVAR).Methods
Data from patients treated consecutively between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2014 were collected retrospectively and reviewed. The primary outcomes were 30-day mortality and complication rates, freedom from reintervention, and survival in the long-term.Results
We analyzed data on 1112 patients (660 EVAR, 452 OR). The 30-day mortality and complications rates were higher after OR than after EVAR (2.9 vs. 1.1%, P?=?.03 and 24.7 vs. 1.1%, P?<?.0001, respectively). At 10 years, survival was 66.1 ± 3.2% after OR and 78.1 ± 2.2% after EVAR (P?=?.0006) and freedom from reintervention was 93.5 ± 1.8% after OR and 88.4 ± 1.8% after EVAR (P?=?.005). The preoperative aneurysm diameter was significantly associated with the development of type Ia endoleaks after EVAR (P?<?.0001) and of a proximal pseudoaneurysm after OR (P?<?.0001).Conclusion
In the long-term, EVAR was associated with higher reintervention rates, but better survival than OR. The preoperative AAA diameter was the most important predictor of the development of endoleaks after EVAR and proximal pseudoaneurysm after OR.15.

Objective
Limited data exist comparing perioperative morbidity and mortality after open and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (EVAR) among regions of the United States. This study evaluated the regional variation in mortality and perioperative outcomes after repair of AAAs.Methods
The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) was used to identify patients undergoing open AAA repair and EVAR between 2009 and 2014. Ruptured and intact aneurysms were evaluated separately, and the analysis of intact aneurysms was limited to infrarenal AAAs. All 16 regions of the VQI were deidentified, and those with <100 open repairs were combined to eliminate the effect of low-volume regions. Regional variation was evaluated using χ2 and Fisher exact tests. Regional rates were compared against current quality benchmarks.Results
Perioperative outcomes from 14 regions were compared. After open repair of intact aneurysms, no significant variation was seen in 30-day or in-hospital mortality; however, multiple regions exceeded the Society for Vascular Surgery benchmark for in-hospital mortality after open repair of intact aneurysms of <5% (range, 0%-7%; P = .55). After EVAR, all regions met the Society for Vascular Surgery benchmark of <3% (range, 0%-1%; P = .75). Significant variation in in-hospital mortality existed after open (14%-63%; P = .03) and endovascular (3%-32%; P = .03) repair of ruptured aneurysms across the VQI regional groups. After repair of intact aneurysms, wide variation was seen in prolonged length of stay (>7 days for open repair: 32%-53%, P = .54; >2 days for EVAR: 16-43%, P < .01), transfusion (open: 10%-35%, P < .01; EVAR: 7%-18%, P < .01), use of vasopressors (open: 19%-37%, P < .01; EVAR: 3%-7%, P < .01), and postoperative myocardial infarction (open: 0%-13%, P < .01; EVAR: 0%-3%, P < .01). After open repair, worsening renal function (6%-18%; P = .04) and respiratory complications (6%-20%; P = .20) were variable across regions. The frequency of endoleak at completion of EVAR also had considerable variation (15%-38%; P < .01).Conclusions
Despite limited variation, multiple regions do not meet current benchmarks for in-hospital mortality after open AAA repair for intact aneurysms. Significant regional variation exists in perioperative outcomes and length of stay, and mortality is widely variable after repair for rupture. These data identify important areas for quality improvement initiatives and clinical practice guidelines. 相似文献16.

Objective
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is widely used with excellent results, but its infectious complications can be devastating. In this paper, we report a multicenter experience with infected EVAR, symptoms, and options for explantation and their outcome.Methods
We have reviewed all consecutive endograft explants for infection at 11 French university centers following EVAR, defined as index EVAR, from 1998 to 2015. Diagnosis of infected aortic endograft was made on the basis of clinical findings, cultures, imaging studies, and intraoperative findings.Results
Thirty-three patients with an infected aortic endograft were identified. In this group, at index EVAR, six patients (18%) presented with a groin or psoas infection and six patients (18%) presented with a general infection, including catheter-related infection (n = 3), prostatitis (n = 1), cholecystitis (n = 1), and pneumonia (n = 1). After index EVAR, eight patients underwent successful inferior mesenteric artery embolization for a type II endoleak within 6 months of index EVAR and one patient received an additional stent for a type Ib endoleak 1 week after index EVAR. Median time between the first clinical signs of infection and endograft explantation was 30 days (range, 1 day to 2.2 years). The most common presenting characteristics were pain and fever in 21 patients (64%) and fever alone in 8 patients (24%). Suprarenal fixation was present in 20 of 33 endografts (60%). All patients underwent endograft explantation, with bowel resection in 12 patients (36%) presenting with an endograft-enteric fistula. Methods of reconstruction were graft placement in situ in 30 patients and extra-anatomic bypass in 3 patients. In situ conduits were aortic cryopreserved allografts in 23, polyester silver graft in 5, and autogenous femoral vein in 2. Microbiology specimens obtained from the endograft and the aneurysm were positive in 24 patients (74%). Gram-positive organisms were the most commonly found in 18 patients (55%). Early mortality (30 days or in the hospital) was 39% (n = 13) in relation to graft blowout (n = 3), multiple organ failure (n = 6), colon necrosis (n = 3), and peripheral embolism (n = 1). At 1 year, the rates of patient survival, graft-related complications, and reinfection were 44%, 10%, and 5%, respectively.Conclusions
Abdominal aortic endograft explantation for infection is high risk and associated with graft-enteric fistula in one-third of the cases. Larger multicenter studies are needed to better understand the risk factors and to improve preventive measures at index EVAR and during follow-up. 相似文献17.

Objective
This study compared reoperation rates associated with open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (OR) outcomes vs endovascular AAA repair (EVAR).Methods
A retrospective review of the Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Project data was performed with inclusion criteria defined as all patients who underwent AAA repair from October 1, 2007, to October 1, 2013. The primary outcome was the incidence of reoperations. Reoperations included subsequent OR or EVAR procedures performed on the abdominal aorta or iliac arteries, surgical treatment of temporally related bowel obstruction, as well as treatment of abdominal or groin wound complications ≤6 months and treatment of bowel or lower limb ischemia ≤10 days.Results
Of 6677 patients who underwent AAA repair, 476 (7.1%) required reoperations. OR was associated with a higher rate of reoperations overall (10.0% vs 6.3%; P < .01), with most being intra-abdominal and wound complications. OR also had higher rates of bowel ischemia requiring operation (0.7% vs 0.3%; P = .01) and lower extremity ischemia (0.5% and 0.06%; P < .01). Significantly more endovascular stents were placed during EVAR (2.8% vs 0.5%; P < .01). Logistic regression showed EVAR is a negative predictor for reoperation after controlling for comorbidities (P < .001).Conclusions
The long-term burden of reoperations after OR may actually be more significant than current understanding when including all possible abdominal complications in an extended analysis. Future prospective trials should include all potential reoperations extended >30 days with associated cost analysis. As surgical innovation in EVAR technology advances, complication comparisons with OR should undergo frequent re-evaluation given that endovascular indications and outcomes continue to expand and improve. 相似文献18.

Objective
Donor blood transfusion has been identified as a potential risk factor for primary graft dysfunction and by extension early mortality. We sought to define the contributing risk of donor transfusion on early mortality for lung transplant.Methods
Donor and recipient data were abstracted from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network database updated through June 30, 2014, which included 86,398 potential donors and 16,255 transplants. Using the United Network for Organ Sharing 4-level designation of transfusion (no blood, 1-5 units, 6-10 units, and >10 units, massive), we analyzed all-cause mortality at 30-days with the use of logistic regression adjusted for confounders (ischemic time, donor age, recipient diagnosis, lung allocation score and recipient age, and recipient body mass index). Secondary analyses assessed 90-day and 1-year mortality and hospital length of stay.Results
Of the 16,255 recipients transplanted, 8835 (54.35%) donors received at least one transfusion. Among those transfused, 1016 (6.25%) received a massive transfusion, defined as >10 units. Those donors with massive transfusion were most commonly young trauma patients. After adjustment for confounding variables, donor massive transfusion was associated significantly with an increased risk in 30-day (P = .03) and 90-day recipient mortality (P = .01) but not 1-year mortality (P = .09). There was no significant difference in recipient length of stay or hospital-free days with respect to donor transfusion.Conclusions
Massive donor blood transfusion (>10 units) was associated with early recipient mortality after lung transplantation. Conversely, submassive donor transfusion was not associated with increased recipient mortality. The mechanism of increased early mortality in recipients of lungs from massively transfused donors is unclear and needs further study but is consistent with excess mortality seen with primary graft dysfunction in the first 90 days posttransplant. 相似文献19.

Background
A cross-sectional study of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients was conducted to determine the association of lower-extremity arterial calcification (LEAC) with acute perioperative cardiovascular events (CVEs).Methods
Regression modeling was used to examine the association of radiographic presence of LEAC and acute myocardial infarction (MI), perioperative CVE, 30-day CVE readmit, and 30-day and 1-year mortality.Results
Of 900 TKA patients, LEAC was identified in 21.1%. Of LEAC cases, 1.6% had an acute MI vs 0.1% of non-LEAC cases (P = .031). Perioperative CVE rate was 5.8% for LEAC vs 1.5% for non-LEAC (P = .002). Having LEAC was identified as a significant risk factor for a perioperative CVE (odds ratio [OR] 2.83; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-7.35). Because of limited number of acute MI events, absence of 30-day CVE readmit, 30-day mortality, and few 1-year mortality events, computing OR for these was not possible. Likewise, because of small number of events (n = 3), estimates for the odds of LEAC cases having an acute MI are less reliable, yielding extremely large random errors (OR 11.37; 95% CI 0.09-597.93) and must be interpreted with caution. The OR for 1-year mortality was 1.88 (95% CI 0.17-13.20), but again with large random errors.Conclusion
Our study shows that LEAC around the knee is associated with an increased risk of having a perioperative CVE. Crude radiographic detection of LEAC around the knee has the potential to improve risk stratification for TKA patients by informing the surgeon of the need for further preoperative cardiac workup. 相似文献20.
