ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the effect of long-term oral aspirin on the changes in the aneurysm sac and persistent type â ¡ endoleak after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms based on propensity score-matched analysis.Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 133 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms treated with EVAR from January 2019 to December 2021 in the Department of Vascular Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. There were 113 males and 20 females, aged (74.8±7.2) years (range 59 to 95 years). Patients were divided into the group receiving aspirin (n=80) and the group not taking aspirin (n=53) based on whether they took aspirin regularly for a long time after surgery. The two groups were matched in a 1â¶1 ratio using propensity score matching and the caliper value was 0.05. Cumulative probability curve was plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Log-rank test was used to compare the differences in primary endpoint events (enlargement of the aneurysm sac, occurrence of persistent type â ¡ endoleak) and secondary endpoint events (adverse cardiovascular events and clinically relevant bleeding events) between the two groups.Results:
A matched cohort was established after propensity score matching, resulting in 32 cases per group. The survival analysis found that the rate of aneurysm sac enlargement was significantly higher in the group receiving aspirin than in the group not taking aspirin (P=0.010), and the incidence of persistent type â ¡ endoleak was significantly higher than that in the group not taking aspirin (P=0.019). The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and clinically relevant bleeding events were not significantly different in two groups (P=0.061,P=0.286).Conclusions:
The risk of aneurysm sac expansion and persistent type â ¡ endoleak were significantly higher in patients taking long-term aspirin after EVAR than in the group not taking asprin. Therefore, high-risk abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients who are prone to aneurysm sac expansion should be evaluated in advance so that the risks and benefits of surgery can be comprehensively evaluated and treatment strategies can be optimized.
