[Factors with Impact on the Outcome after Surgical Interventions for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms].

Conclusion: Several factors influencing the outcome of surgery for AAA present a condition developed from factors involved in the pathogenesis of AAA. The impact of non-disease factors like patient age and aneurysm diameter can be reduced by the means of population-wide screening for AAA, and optimised treatment of disease-related risk factors can reduce mortality. Studies comparing the outcome of EVAR and OR in patients with risk factors should be performed to support decision-making about the ideal individual treatment.
