Prior abdominal surgery is not associated with 30-day mortality or morbidities after endovascular repair of complex abdominal aortic aneurysm
CONCLUSION: While PAS has high prevalence among patients undergoing EVAR for complex AAA, it does not impact 30-day mortality and morbidities. Thus, EVAR for complex AAA can be considered safe for patients with PAS in terms of short-term outcomes, despite the long-term prognosis in these patients being needed in further studies.PMID:38775171 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241256442 (Source: Vascular)

Midterm outcomes of "wide neck" abdominal aortic aneurysm after open or endovascular repair in two European centers: a propensity score matching analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In WN-AAA neck enlargement is observed more frequently in patients undergoing EVAR, but reintervention rate was similar in the 2 groups, demonstrating that both options were safe and effective.PMID:38771161 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12778-4 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) Predicts Outcomes after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in a Veteran Population
Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker for systemic inflammation. NLR has been associated with increased mortality and worst outcomes after surgery. We sought to investigate the relationship between preoperative and postoperative NLRs and outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm in a veteran population.

Impact of Updated Guidelines on Surgical Intervention and Surveillance Follow-Up in Patients with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Role for AI-Based Detection and Surveillance
The Society for Vascular Surgery provides clinical guidelines for the care of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the latest published guidelines on imaging surveillance, physician evaluation, and surgical intervention for a cohort of patients with AAA.

Impact of Neck Morphology on Outcomes of Emergent Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Emergent endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in ruptured or symptomatic patients is often performed in patients with sub-optimal aortic anatomy. Our aim was to assess outcomes of emergent EVAR in patients with various neck morphologies. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Predicting Outcomes Following Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Using Machine Learning
Patients undergoing open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) have a high risk of postoperative adverse events. However, there are no widely used tools to predict surgical risk in this population. We used machine learning (ML) to develop automated algorithms that predict 30-day outcomes following open AAA repair. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Racial and Gender Disparities in Inpatient Outcomes of Patients With Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in the United States
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a medical emergency necessitating immediate surgical intervention. The aim of this analysis was to identify the gender and race-specific disparities that exist in the outcomes of patients hospitalized with this condition in the United States, to identify targets for improvement and support of specific patient populations.

Thirty-day Outcomes After Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Patients With Dependent Functional Status
In patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), existing studies have identified an association between dependent functional status (DFS) and poorer outcomes after EVAR. However, noted limitations, especially the lack of information on ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), potentially affect the extrapolation of these findings to specific patient groups. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of functional status on 30-day outcomes after EVAR, mainly in patients with non-ruptured AAAs. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)
