Background
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of surgeon elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair volume on outcomes after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) repair.Methods
A nationwide claims database was used to identify patients who underwent rAAA repair from 1998 to 2009. Surgeon elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EAR) volume was classified as low, medium, or high. Associations between surgeon EAR volume and in-hospital mortality, overall survival, and complications after open rAAA repair (RAR) were compared with multivariate analysis. Associations between surgeon elective endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EER) volume and outcomes after endovascular rAAA repair (RER) were also analyzed.Results
A total of 537 patients who underwent rAAA repair were identified, including 498 who underwent RAR and 39 who underwent RER. In-hospital mortality rates after RAR were 49, 38, and 24 % in the low, medium, and high EAR volume groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Patients in the low surgeon EAR volume group had higher in-hospital mortality than those in the high surgeon EAR volume group [odds ratio 3.39, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.52, 7.59; p = 0.003]. Patients in the low surgeon EAR volume group also had higher long-term mortality (hazard ratio 1.86, 95 % CI 1.21, 2.85; p = 0.005). There were no significant differences in complication rates among the surgeon EAR volume groups or in-hospital mortality after RER among the surgeon EER volume groups.Conclusions
Surgeon EAR volume is associated with in-hospital mortality and long-term survival after RAR. 相似文献2.

Purpose
It is still difficult to determine the appropriate timing of surgery for a symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Since recent developments in computed tomography (CT) have made the procedure substantially less time-consuming, we used CT on patients with symptomatic AAA to determine the most appropriate management option.Methods
CT was performed on 79 patients with symptomatic AAA. If rupture of the AAA was confirmed by CT, patients underwent emergency surgery. If there was no rupture, patients were observed in an intensive care unit, and surgery was scheduled according to the results of repeated CT (2.1 times on average) and physical examinations, as well as on their clinical signs and symptoms.Results
By CT, we identified 42 ruptures, one contained rupture, one aortocaval fistula, five acute aortic dissections with AAAs, six inflammatory AAAs, six pseudoaneurysms and 18 non-ruptured AAAs. The mortality rate of the patients with ruptures was 33 %. For the 37 patients without rupture, as determined by CT, three emergency, nine urgent, and 20 elective operations were performed. Two patients who refused surgery experienced late rupture and died. Among the other 35 patients, the mortality rate was 6 %.Conclusion
CT was an effective modality to classify patients with symptomatic AAA into those who needed emergency surgery and those who did not. We could observe patients with symptomatic non-ruptured AAAs before urgent/elective operations by repeated CT and monitor the clinical findings. 相似文献3.

Objective
To determine whether resting pre-operative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) estimated by multiple gated acquisition scanning (MUGA) predicts long-term survival in patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.Methods
A retrospective study of MUGA scans which were performed to estimate pre-operative resting LVEF in 127 patients [106 (83 %) males, mean age 74 ± 7.6 years] who underwent elective AAA repair over a period of 4 years from March 2007. We compared outcomes and long-term survival between patients who had a pre-operative LVEF ≤ 40 % (Group 1, n = 60) and LVEF > 40 % (Group 2, n = 67).Results
Overall 19 (15 %) patients died during the follow-up period (13 patients in group 1 and 6 patients in group 2). 30-day mortality was 8 %. There was no significant difference between group 1 and 2 in terms of patients’ mean age or median length of hospital stay (8 days for both groups, p = 0.61). However, group 2 had more females than group 1(18 vs. 3, p = 0.001). Median survival for patients in group 2 was significantly higher than patients in group 1 (1,258 days vs. 1,000 days, p = 0.03). In a Cox regression model which included age, sex, smoking status and LVEF as covariates, only smoking status and LVEF predicted survival [Hazard ratio (HR) = 1.06, p = 0.04 and HR = 0.93, p = 0.00, respectively].Conclusion
This study shows that there is a role for pre-operative MUGA scan assessment of resting LVEF in predicting long-term survival post elective AAA repair and that the lower the pre-operative LVEF the poorer the long-term outcome. 相似文献4.

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5.

Background
The number of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (r-AAA) patients who are treated by endovascular means is increasing as ruptured endovascular aneurysm repair (r-EVAR) enters the mainstream. However, even today, data on the incidence and behavior of endoleaks after r-EVAR are scarce. This study analyzed whether endoleaks behave differently after EVAR for rupture vs elective AAA repair.Methods
From 2002 to 2013, there were 2052 patients who underwent EVAR for treatment of rupture (n = 166 [8.1%]) and elective repair (n = 1886 [91.9%]) of infrarenal AAA. Follow-up included computed tomography angiography at 1 month, at 6 months, and yearly thereafter. All type I and type III endoleaks were treated at the time of or shortly after the diagnosis. Persistent type II endoleaks at >6 months after EVAR without a decrease in AAA sac underwent translumbar or transfemoral embolization procedures. Data were prospectively collected in a vascular database.Results
During a mean follow-up of 30 months, patients had a significantly lower incidence of type II endoleaks after r-EVAR compared with elective endovascular aneurysm repair (e-EVAR; n = 15 [9.0%] vs n = 380 [20.2%]; P < .01). Although the incidence of type I endoleaks is similar after r-EVAR (n = 9 [5.4%] and e-EVAR (n = 83 [4.4%]; P = .68), the r-EVAR patients required stent graft explantation more frequently (n = 9 [5.4%] vs n = 20 [1.1%]; P < .01). Whereas the need for secondary intervention was comparable in both r-EVAR (n = 33 [19.9%]) and e-EVAR (n = 439 [23.3%]; P = .37) groups, patients undergoing percutaneous embolization procedures trended toward significance between the two groups (n = 11 [6.6%] vs n = 216 [11.5%]; P = .06) with endoleaks.Conclusions
Compared with e-EVAR, patients who undergo r-EVAR experience a similar incidence of type I endoleaks and a significantly lower incidence of type II endoleaks. The endoleaks in both e-EVAR and r-EVAR patients can frequently be managed by endovascular means. However, r-EVAR patients with type I and type II endoleaks are at a significantly higher risk for stent graft explantation. 相似文献6.

Objective
An evidence-based consensus for a female-specific intervention threshold for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is missing. This study aims to analyze sex-related differences in the epidemiology of ruptured AAA to establish an intervention threshold for women.Methods
The Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit (DSAA) is a compulsory, nation-wide registry of AAA repairs in The Netherlands. All patients with emergency or elective AAA repair between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2015, were included in the analysis. The main outcomes were age, sex, AAA diameter at time of rupture, and 30-day postoperative mortality.Results
A total of 1561 ruptured AAA repairs (14.7% women) and 7063 cases of elective AAA repair (13.7% women) were included in the analysis. Women had significantly smaller mean ± standard deviation AAA diameter at time of rupture than men; 70.5 ± 14.4 mm and 78.6 ± 17.5 mm, respectively. In male patients, 8% of ruptures occurred at diameters below the 55 mm intervention threshold. The female equivalent of this eighth percentile is 52 mm. Female patients had significantly higher 30-day mortality after emergency repair, namely, 33% for women versus 24.2% for men, but were also significantly older, mean ± standard deviation age 76.7 ± 7.1 years and 73.9 ± 8.3 years for women and men, respectively. Correcting for age reduced the 30-day mortality risk for women after ruptured AAA repair from 1.53 (95% confidence interval, 1.14-2.04) to 1.27 (95% confidence interval, 0.92-1.73). Outcome after open elective repair was significantly worse for women compared with men, with a 30-day mortality of 7.97% 30 for women and 4.27% for men (P < .01).Conclusions
The equivalent of the 55-mm intervention threshold for elective endovascular AAA repair in men is 52 mm in women. The almost doubled mortality risk for elective open repair in women implies that the optimal point for open repair is at higher diameters, very possibly at least 55 mm. 相似文献7.

Aim-Background
An isolated aneurysm of the internal iliac artery is rare, but rupture has a high mortality rate, making it thus a challenging clinical entity in need of special attention as to its immediate diagnosis and treatment.Methods
We present a case of ruptured isolated aneurysm of the internal iliac artery, as well as a literature review of relevant publications focusing on ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysms since 1990.Results
Out of a total of 43 cases with ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm, 37 were isolated internal iliac artery aneurysms, while in 6 cases repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) had preceded. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom and computed tomography (CT) was the diagnostic tool in all. A rupture into another organ was reported in 10 (23%) cases; into the urinary tract (urinary bladder or ureter) in 5 (11.5%) patients, bowel in 3 (7%), and inferior vena cava in 1 (2.3%) patient. The treatment was open surgery in 18/43 cases (42%), endovascular repair in 22/43 (51%), a combination of the two methods in 2/43 (4.6%), while in one case (2.3%), there was no information regarding treatment. Death occurred in 6/43 patients (14%), 3 of whom (7%) were treated with open surgery and 3 (7%) with endovascular means.Conclusions
Immediate diagnosis and treatment lead to good results, as concerns both open and endovascular repair of ruptured aneurysms of the internal iliac artery. A fundamental prerequisite is close cooperation between vascular surgeons and radiologists. 相似文献8.

Objectives
Perioperative mortality of open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) remains unacceptably high: 30-day mortality ≈40 %. This study aimed to assess, quantify, and determine the consequences of anatomic suitability for endovascular repair of rAAA.Design
A retrospective analysis of the prospectively maintained database identified patients with rAAA.Methods
Preoperative CT scans were assessed for anatomic suitability for emergency EVAR and precluding factors recorded. Demographic information was collected and analysed for all patients.Results
A total of 141 patients underwent open surgical repair of rAAA. Forty-six patients had preoperative CT scans suitable for reconstruction. Morphological measurements indicated that 41 % would have been anatomically suitable for EVAR. Suitability was associated with lower mortality rates than unsuitability: 0, 11, and 20 % (24 h, 30 days, and 1 year respectively) versus 11, 33, and 59 % (statistically significant at 1 year; p = 0.02). The groups were comparable excepting diabetes incidence, which was higher in those suitable for EVAR (p = 0.003).Conclusions
A minority of patients with ruptured AAA are anatomically suitable for EVAR. Anatomical suitability appears to identify patients at low risk from open surgery. Whether this is due to technically less demanding open surgery is unknown. This may be resolved by the IMPROVE trial results, which are eagerly awaited. 相似文献9.

Background
Although many studies have demonstrated racial disparities after major vascular surgery, few have identified the reasons for these disparities, and those that did often lacked clinical granularity. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate differences in initial vascular intervention between black and white patients.Methods
We identified black and white patients' initial carotid, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and infrainguinal peripheral artery disease (PAD) interventions in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) registry from 2009 to 2014. We excluded nonblack or nonwhite patients as well as those with Hispanic ethnicity, asymptomatic PAD, or a history of prior ipsilateral interventions. We compared baseline characteristics and disease severity at time of intervention on a national and regional level.Results
We identified 76,372 patients (9% black), including 35,265 carotid (5% black), 17,346 AAA (5% black), and 23,761 PAD interventions (18% black). For all operations, black patients were younger, more likely female, and had more insulin-dependent diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, renal dysfunction, and dialysis dependence. Black patients were less likely to be on a statin before AAA (62% vs 69%; P < .001) or PAD intervention (61% vs 67%; P < .001) and also less likely to be discharged on an antiplatelet and statin regimen after these procedures (AAA, 60% vs 64% [P = .01]; PAD, 64% vs 67% [P < .001]). Black patients presented with more severe disease, including higher proportions of symptomatic carotid disease (36% vs 31%; P < .001), symptomatic or ruptured AAA (27% vs 16%; P < .001), and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (73% vs 62%; P < .001). Black patients more often presented with concurrent iliac artery aneurysms at the time of AAA repair (elective open AAA repair, 46% vs 26% [P < .001]; elective endovascular aneurysm repair, 38% vs 23% [P < .001]).Conclusions
Black patients present with more advanced disease at the time of initial major vascular operation. Efforts to control risk factors, identify and treat arterial disease in a timely fashion, and optimize medical management among black patients may provide opportunity to improve current disparities. 相似文献10.

Background
Current threshold for intervention for ubiquitous abdominal aortic aneurysm of 5.5 cm may not be one size fits all on a global perspective. We analysed long-term results with open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm and postulated to provide proof of concept for personalized threshold, globally applicable for abdominal aortic aneurysm.Methods
From 1998 to date, open conventional repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms performed in 274 consecutive patients, with 214 elective and 60 emergent, formed basis of this report. Thirty-two of the elective procedures were performed for small aneurysms of 4–5.4 cm. Concurrently, body weight and height were recorded in 100 patients undergoing computed tomography of abdomen for non-vascular reasons and 32 patients with small aneurysm who underwent elective repair. Aortic diameter was measured at predetermined domains of infrarenal aorta.Results
Thirty-day mortality for elective and emergent groups was 3.73 and 28 %, respectively. Aortic diameter ranged from 1.4 to 1.8 cm and calculated body surface area from 1.44 to 1.7 m2. Normal aortic size, with proven relationship to body surface area, becomes aneurismal when >150 % times its size. Threshold diameter of 5.5 cm has ingrained ‘defining number 3’ considering body surface area in Western males of ≥1.8 m2 (5.5?÷?1.8?=?3).Conclusion
Elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm is safe, durable with low reintervention rates and easy surveillance protocol. Body surface area, calculated using Mosteller formula from individual’s height and weight, multiplied by threshold factor ‘3’ to determine personalized threshold, so optimal size and time to intervene, in patients with small aneurysm, is at best proof of concept applicable to Indian and Asian populations. 相似文献11.
Objective
The purpose of this study was to compare findings at presentation and surgical outcomes in patients in whom abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) ruptured after endovascular repair and in patients in whom AAAs ruptured before any treatment during a defined period at a single center.Methods
This is a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who presented to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital with ruptured AAA from September 2003 to September 2014. Medical records of each patient were reviewed to retrieve demographics, findings at presentation, and surgical outcome. Comparison of the outcomes between those occurring after endovascular repair (group 1) and those occurring without previous endovascular treatment (group 2) was made using the data collected and combining the results obtained by a previous study that analyzed the same findings between 1992 and 2003 from the same center to provide a total 22-year experience (1992-2014) at a single quaternary referral center.Results
From May 1992 to September 2014, there were 1921 elective repairs of intact infrarenal AAAs, with 1288 endovascular and 633 open repairs. During 22 years, 40 of the 1288 patients (3.1%) who underwent endovascular repair for AAA had rupture. The proportion of patients with hypotension at presentation in group 1 (13/40) was significantly less than in group 2 (108/138; P < .01). The difference in perioperative 30-day mortality rate in group 1 (8/40 [20%]) compared with group 2 (68/138 [49%]) was significant (P < .01).Conclusions
This study confirmed that endovascular AAA repair does not prevent rupture in all patients. The data suggest that rupture, when it does occur, may not be accompanied by such major hemodynamic changes and higher mortality rate as with rupture of an untreated AAA. Strict surveillance and follow-up are required, especially in patients with relatively large initial AAA diameter or presence of endoleak and graft migration, to reduce the rate of ruptures after endovascular repair. Complete prevention will remain challenging because rupture may occur without any predisposing abnormalities. With the advent of new-generation devices, continuous larger long-term studies are required to document reduction in rupture rates after endovascular aneurysm repair. 相似文献12.

Objective
This study investigated the diameter of internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms (IIAAs) at the time of rupture to evaluate whether the current threshold diameter for elective repair of 3 cm is reasonable. The prevalence of concomitant aneurysms and results of surgical treatment were also investigated.Methods
This was a retrospective analysis of patients with ruptured IIAA from seven countries. The patients were collected from vascular registries and patient records of 28 vascular centers. Computed tomography images taken at the time of rupture were analyzed, and maximal diameters of the ruptured IIA and other aortoiliac arteries were measured. Data on the type of surgical treatment, mortality at 30 days, and follow-up were collected.Results
Sixty-three patients (55 men and 8 women) were identified, operated on from 2002 to 2015. The patients were a mean age of 76.6 years (standard deviation, 9.0; range 48-93 years). A concomitant common iliac artery aneurysm was present in 65.0%, 41.7% had a concomitant abdominal aortic aneurysm, and 36.7% had both. IIAA was isolated in 30.0%. The mean maximal diameter of the ruptured artery was 68.4 mm (standard deviation, 20.5 mm; median, 67.0 mm; range, 25-116 mm). One rupture occurred at <3 cm and four at <4 cm (6.3% of all ruptures). All patients were treated, 73.0% by open repair and 27.0% by endovascular repair. The 30-day mortality was 12.7%. Median follow-up was 18.3 months (interquartile range, 2.0-48.3 months). The 1-year Kaplan-Meier estimate for survival was 74.5% (standard error, 5.7%).Conclusions
IIAA is an uncommon condition and mostly coexists with other aortoiliac aneurysms. Follow-up until a diameter of 4 cm seems justified, at least in elderly men, although lack of surveillance data precludes firm conclusions. The mortality was low compared with previously published figures and lower than mortality in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. 相似文献14.

INTRODUCTION
Complications of epidural catheterisation can cause significant morbidity. Epidural abscess following epidural catheterisation is rare and the reported incidence is variable. The purpose of this study was to review the incidence of epidural abscess in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.PATIENTS AND METHODS
A retrospective case note review of all patients having open AAA repair over a 5-year period.RESULTS
A total of 415 patients underwent open AAA repair between January 2003 and March 2008. Of these, 290 were elective procedures and 125 were for ruptured aneurysms. Six patients underwent postoperative magnetic resonance imaging of the spine for clinical suspicion of an epidural abscess. Two of these (0.48%) had confirmed epidural abscess and two superficial infection at the epidural site.CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of epidural abscess following epidural analgesia in patients undergoing open AAA repair within our department was 0.48%. Although a rare complication, epidural abscess can cause significant morbidity. Epidural abscesses rarely develop before the third postoperative day. 相似文献15.

PURPOSE: This study was performed using population-based data to determine the changing trends in the techniques for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in the state of Illinois during the past 9 years and to examine the extent to which endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has influenced overall AAA management. METHODS: All records of patients who underwent AAA repair (1995 to 2003 inclusive) were retrieved from the Illinois Hospital Association COMPdata database. The outcome as determined by in-hospital mortality was analyzed according to intervention type (open vs EVAR) and indication (elective repair vs ruptured AAA). Data were stratified by age, gender, and hospital type (university vs community setting) and then analyzed using both univariate (chi 2 , t tests) and multivariate (stepwise logistic regression) techniques. RESULTS: Between 1995 and 2003, 14,517 patients underwent AAA repair (85% for elective and 15% for ruptured AAA). The average age was 71.4 +/- 7.9 years, and 76% were men. For elective cases, open repair was performed in 86% and EVAR in 14%; and for ruptured cases, open repair in 97% and EVAR in 3%. Elective EVAR was associated with lower in-hospital mortality compared with open repair regardless of age. No differences were observed with age after either type of repair for a ruptured aneurysm. Men had a lower in-hospital mortality compared with women for open repair of both elective and ruptured aneurysms. For EVAR, the mortality of an elective repair was lower in men, but there was no difference after a ruptured AAA. In men, the difference in mortality between elective open repair and EVAR was significant; the type of institution did not influence outcome. Patients >80 years of age had a higher mortality after open repair for both elective and ruptured AAA and after EVAR of a ruptured AAA. The average length of stay was 9.9 days for open elective repair, 13.1 days after open repair of a ruptured AAA, and 3.6 days for EVAR. The independent predictors of higher in-hospital mortality were female gender, age >80 years, diagnosis (ruptured vs open), and procedure (open vs EVAR). The year of the procedure and type of hospital (university vs community) were not predictive of outcome. CONCLUSIONS: EVAR has had a significant impact on AAA management in Illinois over a relatively short time period. In this population-based review, EVAR was associated with a significantly decreased in-hospital mortality and length of stay. Octogenarians had higher mortality after both types of repair, with the exception of elective EVAR. 相似文献

Purpose
There is much interest in all factors that influence the etiopathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture. Apart from the well-established factors such as arterial hypertension, smoking, age, and genetic predisposition, less common factors that may play a role in the mechanism of the rupture are the subject of much discussion. These include atmospheric conditions, temperature, and atmospheric pressure. We conducted this study to investigate the effects of the absolute value of atmospheric pressure and its changes on the frequency of AAA rupture.Methods
We retrospectively examined 54 patients who underwent treatment for a ruptured AAA at the Clinic of Surgery in the University Hospital in Pilsen between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2009. We collected data on the atmospheric pressure in this period from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute in Pilsen.Results
We did not find a significant difference in atmospheric pressure values between the days when the rupture occurred versus the other days (p < 0.5888). Moreover, we did not find significant changes in the atmospheric pressure during the 48 h preceding the rupture (Student’s test p < 0.4434) versus the day of rupture or in the mean atmospheric pressure in that month.Conclusion
These findings suggest that atmospheric pressure and its changes do not affect the pathogenesis of AAA rupture. 相似文献17.

Objectives
Endovascular treatment (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is thought to be of benefit, particularly in patients aged ≥80 years. This issue was investigated in the present meta-analysis.Design
The study design involved a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.Methods
Systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of data on elective EVAR vs. open repair of AAA in patients aged ≥80 years were performed.Results
Six observational studies reporting on 13 419 patients were included in the present analysis. Pooled analysis showed higher immediate postoperative mortality after open repair compared with EVAR (risk ratio 3.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.19–4.68; risk difference, 6.2%, 95%CI 5.4–7.0%). The pooled immediate mortality rate after open repair was 8.6%, whereas it was 2.3% after EVAR. Open repair was associated with a significantly higher risk of postoperative cardiac, pulmonary and renal complications. Pooled analysis of three studies showed similar overall survival at 3 years after EVAR and open repair (risk ratio 1.10, 95%CI 0.77–1.57).Conclusions
The results of this meta-analysis suggest that elective EVAR in patients aged ≥80 years is associated with significantly lower immediate postoperative mortality and morbidity than open repair and should be considered the treatment of choice in these fragile patients. These results indicate also that, when EVAR is not feasible, open repair can be performed with acceptable immediate and late survival in patients at high risk of aneurysm rupture. 相似文献18.

Objective
The data for the year 2013 of the registry of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) of the German Society for Vascular Surgery and Vascular Medicine are presented and the results are compared with those of other registries.Methods
In 2013 a total of 76 centers participated in the registry. For ruptured aneurysms (rAAA), 49 centers entered data for open repair (OR) and 32 centers for endovascular repair (EVAR). In total 2257 patients were included, 2041 patients (90.4?%) had an intact aneurysm (iAAA), 216 patients (9.6?%) a rAAA, 1924 patients (85.2?%) were male and 333 (14.8?%) were female. Men had an average age of 73 years, 2 years younger than women (average age 75 years) and 21.4?% of patients were older than 80 years. The aneurysm diameter in computed tomography (CT) measured in median 55 mm and mean 66.8?±?75.9 mm.Results
Of the patients with iAAA 73?% were treated by EVAR and 27?% by OR, 0.9?% of patients with iAAA died after EVAR compared to 5.3?% after OR. The complication rate after EVAR was about half (12.4?%) of that after OR (27.9?%) and the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stays were shorter. Overall post-interventional hospital mortality (OR and EVAR combined) was 2.1?% for iAAA. Of the patients with rAAA 34.7?% underwent EVAR and 65.3?% OR. Patients with rAAA and EVAR were older (median 79 years) compared with 75 years for OR. No complications occurred in 42.7?% of cases with EVAR for rAAA and 23 patients (30.7?%) died. Of the rAAA patients treated with OR 18.4?% showed no complications and 69 patients (48.9?%) died. The combined hospital mortality for rAAA was 42.6?% in the register and rAAA showed on average a diameter greater by at least 2 cm than for iAAA.Conclusion
It must be emphasized that these results do not reflect the entire quality of care in Germany for AAA. The main task for the future is, therefore, to include in this registry more centers than in the past in order to make population-based statements in the long run. 相似文献19.

Background
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the benefits of a preoperative dipyridamole thallium-201 myocardial perfusion scan in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed findings in a prospectively collected database of patients undergoing open or endovascular repair of AAA at the Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, from January 2001 to May 2011.Results
Of 373 patients, 11 (2.9 %) had postoperative myocardial infarction (MI), whereas 24 (6.4 %), 17 (4.6 %), 24 (6.4 %), and 8 (2.1 %) were diagnosed with myocardial ischemia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmia, and congestive heart failure, respectively. The incidence of 30-day cardiac-related mortality was 1.6 % (6 of 373 patients). The preoperative variables significantly associated with postoperative cardiac events in multivariate analysis were preoperative congestive heart failure (odds ratio [OR] 8.8, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.36–56.73, p = 0.022), long-acting nitrates (OR 8.1, 95 % CI 1.22–54.26, p = 0.03), and body mass index (BMI) higher than 26 (OR 3.6, 95 % CI 1.49–8.48, p = 0.004). The variables obtained from dipyridamole thallium-201 myocardial perfusion scan were not correlates of postoperative cardiac events. The sensitivity of reversible defects for postoperative cardiac events was 14 % and the specificity was 90 %. Subgroup analyses revealed that thallium defects were not significant variables in predicting postoperative cardiac events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) or in no-CAD patients.Conclusions
Preoperative dipyridamole thallium-201 myocardial perfusion scans were ineffective in predicting postoperative cardiac complications in AAA patients. These results suggest that the routine use of these tests for preoperative screening of patients undergoing AAA repair may not be warranted. 相似文献20.
