SummaryThe endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms has generated a great deal of interest since the early 1990s, and many different devices are currently available. The procedure of endovascular repair has been evaluated in many institutions and the different devices are compared. The first results were encouraging, but complications like endoleak, dislocation or thrombosis of the graft occurred. By the available devices the stent application is only promising, if the known exclusion criteria are strictly respected. Therefore a careful preinterventional assessment of the patient by different imaging modalities is necessary. As the available results up to now are preliminary and the durability of the devices has to be controlled, multicenter studies are required to improve the devices and observe their long- term success in the exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

The preferred method to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is endovascular repair with a stent-graft (EVAR). Although EVAR is fairly successful, there are several challenges to address, which include patient ineligibility due to complex anatomy and long-term failure due to migration and endoleak. Drug treatments that reduce or halt AAA growth are also currently under investigation [1].

Objectives Abdominal aortic aneurysms are conventionally treated by open repair surgery. While endovascular aortic repair improves survival in high-risk patients, younger patients (40–65 years) potentially at lower risk with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms undergoing endovascular aortic repair usually have poorer post-operative outcomes and require longer term follow-up. In this study, clinical data on younger patients were analyzed to investigate whether endovascular aortic repair leads to poorer short- and long-term outcomes. Methods This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of articles comparing clinical outcomes in patients aged 40–65 years undergoing open repair or endovascular aortic repair and published between 2000 and 2017. In-hospital mortality, long-term mortality, and post-operative complication data were retrieved from eligible studies and clinical outcomes were compared. Twenty-one retrospective cohort analyses were included, accounting for 250,837 patients (149,051 endovascular aortic repair; 101,786 open repair). Risk ratios were pooled using the DerSimonian and Laird random effects model. All statistical analyses were performed in Review Manager 5.3. Results Younger patients with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms undergoing endovascular aortic repair had a significantly reduced 30-day mortality (odds ratio (OR) = 0.40, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.28–0.57; p < 0.00001), long-term mortality (OR = 0.37, 95% CI 0.17–0.82; p = 0.01), incidence of reintervention (OR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.34–0.66; p < 0.0001), and incidence of renal failure (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.37–1.82; p < 0.00001). Conclusions Endovascular aortic repair may improve short- and long-term survival and reduce post-operative complications in younger patients with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms.

We analyzed the data of surgical treatment of 225 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) obtained over a period from 1998 to 2012. Depending on the tactics and methods of surgical treatment, the patients were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 included 79 patients (35,2%), who underwent open surgery for AAA with therapeutic correction of combined pathology in the blood pool of the heart. Group 2 had 118 patients (52,4%), who underwent first surgical correction of the arterial bed of the heart and then open surgery for AAA. 28 patients of Group 3 (12,4 %) also underwent first surgical correction in the arterial bed area followed, however, by endovascular repair of AAA. Preliminary surgical correction of the coronary blood flow abnormalities followed by open surgery of AAA allowed to reduce the number of myocardial infarctions in the early postoperative period from 10,1 % to 1,7% and from 12,5% to 1,3% in the long-term period, to reliably reduce perioperative mortality from 10,1% to 0,8% and to improve the actuarial 5-year survival from 77,5% to 91,3%. The absence of cardiac complications after preliminary surgical correction of the coronary blood flow and endovascular repair of AAA both during early and long-term follow-up is indicative of the benefits of this tactic, especially for the elderly with multiple co-morbidities.
