Correção endovascular do aneurisma da aorta abdominal: Análise dos resultados de único centro

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate immediate and mid-term outcomes in a series of patients submitted to endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm in a reference center for cardiovascular medicine. Materials and Methods: The present retrospective study included a series of patients treated in the period from January 2009 to July 2010, and evaluated demographic characteristics, technical success, therapeutic success, morbimortality, immediate complications and perioperative reintervention rate in a one-year follow-up. Results: The authors evaluated 102 consecutive patients with a mean age of 72 ± 9 years (79% were men). Technical success was observed in 97.1% of cases, and therapeutic success, in 81%. Perioperative mortality was 0.9% and one-year mortality rate was 7.8%. Reintervention was necessary in 18.8% of the patients during follow-up. Conclusion: The outcomes observed in the present study justify performing such a procedure in patients with suitable anatomy. © Colégio Brasileiro de Radiologia e Diagnóstico por Imagem.
