Patients with end-stage renal disease have poor outcomes after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Journal of Vascular Surgery Jun 28, 2018
Komshian S, et al. - Perioperative and 1-year outcomes in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis were investigated to assess how ESRD affects outcomes in a large modern cohort of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) patients. Analyzing all patients undergoing EVAR from the Vascular Quality Initiative database from 2010 to 2017, researchers noted ESRD to have an independent association with higher perioperative and 1-year mortality although it showed no association with higher postoperative complications. They recommended accounting this during informed consent for EVAR and risk-benefit considerations in this high-risk population, particularly for elective repair.
