Abstract: | PurposeTo evaluate the influence of antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy on sac behavior after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).Materials and MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed data from patients with favorable neck anatomy who underwent EVAR between 2007 and 2019. Patients with ruptured AAA and ≤1 year of sac behavior evaluation were excluded. Sac shrinkage after 1 year, persistent type II endoleak, and late sac expansion were examined.ResultsIn total, 182 patients with favorable neck anatomy were included in this study. A multivariable analysis identified an occluded inferior mesenteric artery (IMA; P = .049), the presence of a posterior thrombus (P = .009), and no antiplatelet therapy (P = .012) as factors positively associated with sac shrinkage at 1 year. Persistent type II endoleak was detected in 56 (30.8%) patients, with patent IMA (P = .006), the lack of a posterior thrombus (P = .004), the number of patent lumbar arteries (P = .004), and antiplatelet therapy (P = .039) being identified as significant risk factors. The multivariable analysis identified a larger initial AAA diameter (P < .001), the lack of a posterior thrombus (P = .038), and antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies (P = .038 and P = .003, respectively) as risk factors for late sac expansion.ConclusionsAfter EVAR in patients with favorable neck anatomy, antiplatelet therapy is associated with the lack of sac regression at 1 year, whereas antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies are risk factors for late sac expansion. |
