Elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair--transperitoneal, retroperitoneal, endovascular?
Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery 2009 November
We retrospectively analyzed the peri-operative outcome of 210 consecutive patients undergoing elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair according to the surgical approach: transperitoneal (TP; 63 patients), retroperitoneal (RP; 81 patients) and endovascular (EV; 66 patients) repair. Concerning gender, AAA diameter and classification of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA score) all groups were comparable; the median age in the EV group was significantly higher (78 years vs. 68 years and 67 years, respectively, P=0.001). Mortality rates were 0% for TP, 1.2% for RP and 3% for EV repair (n.s.). Morbidity rates did not significantly differ between the groups. In specialized centres mortality rates of elective infrarenal aneurysm repair are low - regardless of the surgical approach. In such centres the best treatment options for each patient as to the surgical approach as well as peri-operative management can be provided individually.
