Key result
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms was associated with a significantly shorter hospital stay compared to open surgical repair (P < 0.01).
Why the study?
Does elective endovascular repair improve short-term outcomes compared to elective open surgical repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Population
46 consecutive patients presenting with the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA)
Comparison
Elective endovascular repair vs Elective open transperitoneal surgical repair
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
short-term (perioperative and in-hospital)

May support endovascular repair to shorten stays in suitable patients; leaves open randomized confirmation of net short-term benefit.

p-value: p=<0.01
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms is associated with a significantly shorter hospital stay and fewer postoperative complications compared to open surgical repair.
Bulut et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) (n=46). Endovascular repair vs. Open transperitoneal surgical repair was evaluated on Hospital stay (p=<0.01). Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms was associated with a significantly shorter hospital stay compared to open surgical repair (P < 0.01).
