Current evidence suggests short-term survival benefit from endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) versus open surgical repair (OSR) in elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) procedures, but this benefit is lost during long-term follow-up. The aim of this study was to compare short- and mid-term all-cause mortality in patients with non-ruptured aneurysm treated by OSR and EVAR; and to assess the rate of complications and reinterventions, as well as to evaluate their impact on survival.
The medical records of the non-ruptured AAA patients undergoing OSR or EVAR between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2019 at Tartu University Hospital, Estonia, were retrospectively reviewed. We gathered survival data from the national registry (mean follow-up period was 3.7 ± 2.3 years).
A total of 225 non-ruptured AAA patients were treated operatively out of whom 95 (42.2%) were EVAR and 130 (57.8%) were OSR procedures. The difference in estimated all-cause mortality between the OSR and EVAR groups at day 30 was statistically irrelevant (2.3% vs 0%; p = 0.140), but OSR patients showed statistically significantly higher 5 year survival compared with EVAR patients (75.3% vs 50.0%, p = 0.002). Complication and reintervention rates for the EVAR and OSR groups did not differ statistically (26.3% vs 16.9%, p = 0.122; 10.5% vs 11.5%, p = 0.981, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that greater aneurysm diameter (p = 0.012), EVAR procedure (p = 0.016), male gender (p = 0.023), and cerebrovascular diseases (p = 0.028) were independently positively associated with 5-year mortality.
Thirty-day mortality, and complication and reintervention rates for EVAR and OSR after elective AAA repair were similar. Although the EVAR procedure is an independent risk factor for 5-year mortality, higher age and greater proportion of comorbidities among EVAR patients may influence not only the choice of treatment modality, but also prognosis.
目前的证据表明,在择期腹主动脉瘤(AAA)手术中,血管内动脉瘤修复术(EVAR)与开放手术修复术(OSR)相比具有短期生存获益,但这种获益在长期随访中丧失。本研究旨在比较非破裂性AAA 患者接受 OSR 和 EVAR 治疗的短期和中期全因死亡率;评估并发症和再干预的发生率,并评估其对生存的影响。
回顾性分析 2011 年 1 月 1 日至 2019 年 12 月 31 日期间在爱沙尼亚塔尔图大学医院接受 OSR 或 EVAR 治疗的非破裂性 AAA 患者的病历。我们从国家登记处收集了生存数据(平均随访时间为 3.7±2.3 年)。
共有 225 例非破裂性 AAA 患者接受了手术治疗,其中 95 例(42.2%)接受了 EVAR,130 例(57.8%)接受了 OSR 手术。30 天时 OSR 组和 EVAR 组全因死亡率的差异无统计学意义(2.3%比 0%;p=0.140),但 OSR 组患者的 5 年生存率明显高于 EVAR 组(75.3%比 50.0%,p=0.002)。EVAR 组和 OSR 组的并发症和再干预率无统计学差异(26.3%比 16.9%,p=0.122;10.5%比 11.5%,p=0.981)。多变量分析显示,更大的动脉瘤直径(p=0.012)、EVAR 手术(p=0.016)、男性(p=0.023)和脑血管疾病(p=0.028)是 5 年死亡率的独立正相关因素。
择期 AAA 修复术后 EVAR 和 OSR 的 30 天死亡率、并发症和再干预率相似。尽管 EVAR 手术是 5 年死亡率的独立危险因素,但 EVAR 患者年龄较大且合并症比例较高,这不仅可能影响治疗方式的选择,而且可能影响预后。
