Sex Related Differences in Perioperative Outcomes after Complex Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prior studies suggest female sex is associated with worse outcomes after complex endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) due to anatomic differences. Therefore, we aimed to compare 30-day perioperative and long-term outcomes after complex EVAR by sex.

Methods

A single-center retrospective review of consecutive elective and emergent complex EVAR with company-manufactured devices, laser fenestration, snorkel/periscope, or octopus technique was performed from 2012-2023. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of any major adverse event (MAE), new-onset dialysis, or death within 30 days. Secondary 30-day technical and long-term outcomes were also assessed.

Results

293 patients (57 females, 19%), mean age 74 years, underwent complex EVAR with commerciall
