What did studies of Endovascular aortic repair find?

2

Studies of Endovascular aortic repair measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are peri-operative mortality (1 study) and psoas muscle area (1).

Peri-operative mortality

downin humans1

1 study

  1. Endovascular aortic repair is linked with lower peri-operative mortality in humans (5.1%, 10.0%, and 50.0% vs. 100.0%, 80.0%, and 62.5% after OSR).

    “The 90 day mortality rates were 100.0%, 80.0%, and 62.5% for asymptomatic, symptomatic, and rAAA, respectively, after open surgical repair (OSR), and 5.1%, 10.0%, and 50.0%, respectively, after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).”

Psoas muscle area

1 study

  1. Endovascular aortic repair is linked with lower psoas muscle area in humans (over follow-up after EVAR, greatest decline in the first postoperative year) (mean -4.4 cm2 (-26.8%) for PMA).
