Study population: This is an observational retrospective cohort study of all patients consecutively submitted to elective AAA surgery repair at a tertiary academic referral center from south Europe, between January 2009 and December 2015. The exclusion criteria were non-elective cases, aortic intervention due to diagnosis other than infrarenal AAA and complex aortic aneurysms such as juxta-renal, thoraco-abdominal or thoracic aneurysms.

About this study

Official title: Retrospective Cohort Study of Open Versus Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

This is an observational retrospective cohort study of all patients consecutively submitted to elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery repair at a tertiary referral centre between 2009 and 2015. Patients were excluded if they were non-elective cases or had complex aortic aneurysms (juxta-renal, thoraco-abdominal or thoracic). Differences between both groups of repair were assessed, as well as short- and long-term complications including medical complications, duration of hospital stay, major cardiovascular events, mortality and vascular reintervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Type of aneurysm repairProcedure or surgery

    In open surgery repair group, aneurysm repair was performed by open surgery including aortobifemoral bypass, aorto-bi-iliac bypass and tubular aortic bypass. In endovascular repair (EVAR group), aneurysm correction was performed by percutaneous approach, femoral cutdowns and aorto-uni-iliac EVARs with femorofemoral bypass.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)

    Acute myocardial infarction (with PCI, CABG or no intervention), decompensated heart failure, neurological deficit (including transient ischemic attack or stroke) or death

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Death

    Death of any cause

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Medical complications

    Including digestive complications such as intestinal obstruction or ischemia, acute myocardial infarction (with PCI, CABG or no intervention), decompensated heart failure, neurological deficit (including transient ischemic attack or stroke), respiratory failure (including pneumonia, prolongation of endotracheal intubation, need for a tracheostomy) or acute renal failure (plasma creatinine > 3 mg/dL with or without the need for dialysis).

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Without Rupture, run by Hospital Sao Joao at 1 site in Portugal.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Portugal. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2019.
