Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Traditional surgical repair and endovascular repair (EVAR) are the treatment options for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. EVAR as less invasive becomes a significant and widely accepted way of treatment aortic aneurysms with expanding number of procedures. This technique has a lover short‑term mortality and a shorter hospital stay but is not free from complications. The most common complication after EVAR are endoleaks. For the first time summarised and assessed in 1997. Although it is often asymptomatic but may cause aneurysm expanding and rupture. Endoleak is defined as persistent blood flow into the aneurysm sac. It can be revealed intra‑operatively or during the follow up – CT; arteriography, angio‑MRI enables endoleak diagnosis. Usage of duplex sonography is questionable. In this mini‑review we summarise endolek diagnostic, classification and treatment options.

Elective Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Objectives The relationship between preoperative medical consultations and postoperative complications has not been extensively studied. Thus, we investigated the impact of preoperative consultation on postoperative morbidity following elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 469 patients (mean age 72 years, 20% female) who underwent elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair from June 2007 to July 2014. Data elements included detailed medical history, preoperative cardiology consultation, and postoperative complications. Primary outcomes included 30-day morbidity, consult-specific morbidity, and mortality. A bivariate probit regression model accounting for the endogeneity of binary preoperative medical consult and patient variability was estimated with a maximum likelihood function. Results Eighty patients had preoperative medical consults (85% cardiology); thus, our analysis focuses on the effect of cardiac-related preoperative consults. Hyperlipidemia, increased aneurysm size, and increased revised cardiac risk index increased likelihood of referral to cardiology preoperatively. Surgery type (endovascular versus open repair) was not significant in development of postoperative complications when controlling for revised cardiac risk index ( p = 0.295). After controlling for patient comorbidities, there was no difference in postoperative cardiac-related complications between patients who did and did not undergo cardiology consultation preoperatively ( p = 0.386). Conclusions When controlling for patient disease severity using revised cardiac risk index risk stratification, preoperative cardiology consultation is not associated with postoperative cardiac morbidity.
