lüll Seven-year results of endovascular aneurysm repairs of abdominal aortic aneurysms with custom-made stent grafts Hashimoto W; Sakamoto I; Hashizume K; Taniguchi S; Miura T; Odate T; Matsukuma S; Hisatomi K; Eishi KAnn Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2010[Aug]; 16 (1): 26-30BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term results of a 7-year follow-up of endovascular aneurysm repairs (EVARs) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) using custom-made stent grafts (SGs). METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a retrospective review of 17 patients (14 males, 3 females; mean age: 74.3 +/- 7.9 years; range: 53-85) undergoing EVAR of infrarenal aortic aneurysms at our institution from April 2000 to August 2006. The primary and secondary clinical success rates were 82.4% (14/17) and 100% (17/17). The initial and short-term clinical success rates were 100%. During follow-up (mean: 38.8 +/- 35.9 months; range: 0.8-90 months), 4 patients died, but there was no aneurysm-related death. In 2 patients, additional surgery was performed. The long-term clinical success rate was 83.3% (5/6). In the Kaplan-Meier curve, the 1- and 5-year survival rates were 55.0% and 45.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The initial and short-term clinical success rates were 100%; regarding the short-term, aneurysm-related death could be avoided. However, during long-term follow-up, aneurysm-related events did occur. Follow-up should be performed over a long period.|*Blood Vessel Prosthesis[MESH]|*Stents[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal/mortality/*surgery[MESH]|Blood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation/adverse effects/*instrumentation/mortality[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Kaplan-Meier Estimate[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Prosthesis Design[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Time Factors[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
