Details and patient eligibility

About

This is an observational retrospective cohort study of all patients consecutively submitted to elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery repair at a tertiary referral centre between 2009 and 2015. Patients were excluded if they were non-elective cases or had complex aortic aneurysms (juxta-renal, thoraco-abdominal or thoracic). Differences between both groups of repair were assessed, as well as short- and long-term complications including medical complications, duration of hospital stay, major cardiovascular events, mortality and vascular reintervention.

Enrollment: 125 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• This is an observational retrospective cohort study of all patients consecutively submitted to elective AAA surgery repair at a tertiary academic referral center from south Europe, between January 2009 and December 2015.

Exclusion criteria

• The exclusion criteria were non-elective cases, aortic intervention due to diagnosis other than infrarenal AAA and complex aortic aneurysms such as juxta-renal, thoraco-abdominal or thoracic aneurysms.

Endovascular repair

Description:

Observational retrospective cohort of patients consecutively submitted to elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery repair at a tertiary academic referral center from south Europe, between January 2009 and December 2015 through endovascular repair. The exclusion criteria were non-elective cases, aortic intervention due to diagnosis other than infrarenal AAA and complex aortic aneurysms such as juxta-renal, thoraco-abdominal or thoracic aneurysms.

Treatment:

Procedure: Type of aneurysm repair

Open repair

Description:

Observational retrospective cohort of patients consecutively submitted to elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery repair at a tertiary academic referral center from south Europe, between January 2009 and December 2015 through open repair. The exclusion criteria were non-elective cases, aortic intervention due to diagnosis other than infrarenal AAA and complex aortic aneurysms such as juxta-renal, thoraco-abdominal or thoracic aneurysms.
