Abstract

Endovascular aneurysm repair as a minimally invasive alternative has become a commonly used surgical method for treating patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). To analyze short-term outcomes of endovascular treatment of AAA patients, including ruptured cases. From 2010 to 2015, 247 patients with AAA were treated using the endovascular aneurysm repair technique. A short-term analysis was conducted - up to 30 days after surgery. It included 236 patients with planned surgery and 11 operated on in emergency mode, due to ruptured AAA. Rates of short-term mortality and re-interventions among patients undergoing planned surgery were 2.5% and 4.2%, respectively. Surgical complications occurred in 18 (7.6%) patients, with the most common being thrombosis and blockage of the stent graft (2.5%). Systemic complications were found in 19 (8%) planned cases, with the most common being arrhythmias (1.7%). In patients with ruptured AAA, short-term mortality was 36.4%, while re-interventions were performed in 3 (27.3%) patients. Rates of surgical and systemic complications for ruptured AAA were 45.4% and 72.7%, respectively. The AAA patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair showed relatively low short-term mortality. However, larg...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
