چکیده

Results Octogenarians more frequently had impaired renal function (P = .05). We did not observe intraoperative mortality; the 30-day mortality rate was 8.5% (3/35) vs 1.5% (3/ 200) in the younger group (P = .03). The early complications were higher in aged patients 25.7% vs 13.5% (P = .006), as was the length of stay 7.7 ± 5.6 vs 5.7 ± 4 days (P = .05). The follow-up period was shorter in octogenarians (17 ± 15 vs 26 ± 24 months, P = .004). The endoleak incidence was higher in older patients: 48.5% vs 24.5% (P = .003), and also appeared earlier during the follow-up (6.3 ± 7 vs 9.5 ± 12 months P = .03). No significant difference was noted about the type of endoleak in the two groups. Mortality during the follow-up was 37.1% in the octogenarians group vs 16% in the younger group (P = .003). In the elderly group, 2 patients (6.2%) died for devicerelated complication.

Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

Elective surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysms in octogenarians: a systematic review.

INTRODUCTION Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an age-related disease. In an aging population, the prevalence of AAA is likely to increase. Open AAA repair in patients aged >80 years is often not considered because of their advanced age as such or because of comorbidities. In addition, little is known about the natural history in such patients or survival after successful repair. We performed ...

Endovascular Repair of Abdominal and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

Aortic aneurysms remain a challenging problem for patients and physicians. There have been major advances in the treatment of large-vessel aneurysms during the past 10 years. The surgical armamentarium used to treat these aneurysms now includes an endovascular approach that allows the insertion of a graft to exclude the aneurysm sac from blood flow. The endovascular repair of abdominal and thor...

Use of dexmedetomidine versus general anesthesia for endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

While abdominal aortic aneurysms have traditionally been treated with a major open surgical procedure, minimally invasive endovascular techniques are much less traumatic, with significantly less strain on the heart and vital organs. A sedation technique using dexmedetomidine, an alpha 2-adrenoreceptor agonist, was developed for this procedure. We retrospectively reviewed records of 231 patients...
