Sarcoma Resection With and Without Vascular Reconstruction: A Matched Case-control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the impact of major vascular resection on sarcoma resection outcomes.

Summary background data

En bloc resection and reconstruction of involved vessels is being increasingly performed during sarcoma surgery; however, the perioperative and oncologic outcomes of this strategy are not well described.

Methods

Patients undergoing sarcoma resection with (VASC) and without (NO-VASC) vascular reconstruction were 1:2 matched on anatomic site, histology, grade, size, synchronous metastasis, and primary (vs. repeat) resection. R2 resections were excluded. Endpoints included perioperative morbidity, mortality, local recurrence, and survival.
