Functional performance status and risk of cardiovascular events and mortality following endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic pathology

CONCLUSIONS: Poor preoperative functional status as assessed by ECOG score is associated with an increased risk of adverse postoperative cardiovascular events following EVAR and a higher mortality risk following both EVAR and TEVAR. Functional status assessment may be useful for risk stratification and determining procedural candidacy prior to EVAR and TEVAR.PMID:33900842 | DOI:10.1177/17085381211010545
