ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was to compare mid-term clinical and morphological outcomes in patients undergoing open (OR) and endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) with a proximal wide neck abdominal aortic aneurysm (WN-AAA).METHODS:
Between 2009 and 2014 data of all patients undergoing OR at IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital and EVAR at German Aortic Center Hamburg were retrospectively analyzed. Primary endpoints were aneurysm-related mortality at 5 years, reintervention, and overall mortality. Secondary endpoint was proximal neck enlargement. A 11 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed. Survival and freedom from AAA-related reintervention were investigated in matched OR and EVAR group by Kaplan-Meier analysis.RESULTS:
Of all OR performed at IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital 70 were found to have a proximal neck >28 mm (mean age 69.8±7.2 years, 67 [95.71%] male); of all consecutive EVAR performed at German Aortic Center Hamburg, 52 required an endograft size of at least 32 mm (mean age of 73.1±8.7 years, 49 [94.2%] male). After PSM, the study cohort consisted of 30 OR and EVAR. One early mortality was registered in both groups (P=NS). Mid-term freedom from reintervention compared in OR and EVAR, with no statistically significant differences (P=0.979). Eight (15.4%) patients treated with EVAR developed a significant proximal diameter enlargement (≥3 mm) while only 1 (1.4%) patient in the OR group had the same evolution (P<0.01).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.
