Does platelet count recovery predict endoleak and aneurysm sac expansion after EVAR?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This study investigates whether platelet count recovery can serve as a novel predictor for endoleak and aneurysm sac expansion following endovascular aneurysm repair.
Objective: To find a new predictor of endoleak (EL) and aneurysm sac expansion after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), we evaluated the platelet count recovery (PCR) process after EVAR.

Inoue et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=205). Disturbed platelet count recovery (PCR < 118% on POD7) vs. Optimal platelet count recovery (PCR ≥ 118% on POD7) was evaluated on Cumulative aneurysm sac expansion rate at 5 years (HR 3.68, 95% CI 1.28-13.50, p=0.0141). Disturbed platelet count recovery (<118% of baseline) on postoperative day 7 after endovascular aneurysm repair was associated with a significantly higher 5-year cumulative aneurysm sac expansion rate (34.4% vs. 12.8%, HR 3.68).
