OBJECTIVE
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic, particularly in Western society. It predisposes surgical patients to an increased risk of adverse outcomes. The aim of our study was to use a nationally representative vascular database and to compare in-hospital outcomes in obese vs nonobese patients
OBJECTIVE
To investigate outcomes in obese patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated with elective open or endovascular repair (EVAR).
METHODS
We compared the outcomes of obese patients with AAA treated with elective open repair and EVAR. Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) >
BACKGROUND
This study examined impact of obesity on outcomes after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
METHODS
Data were obtained from the Veterans Affairs National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Body mass index (BMI) was categorized according to National Institutes of Health guidelines.
The rising pandemic of obesity in modern society should direct attention to a more comprehensive approach to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treatment in the affected population. Although overweight patients are considered prone to increased surgical risk, studies on the subject did not confirm or
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the outcomes in overweight and obesity patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated with elective open or endovascular repair (EVAR).
METHODS
The clinical data of 52 patients with AAA treated by EVAR (EVAR group, n=17) and conventional surgical repair (open group,
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the influence of obesity on outcomes after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted of 80 patients (77 men; mean age 75.0+/-7.6 years) undergoing elective EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) between 2001 and 2008. Patients were
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of obesity on procedural metrics, radiation exposure, quality of life (QOL) and clinical outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) for pararenal
BACKGROUND
The prevalence of obesity is increasing, and its impact on the outcome of open and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair remains unclear, particularly in the European population. We herein assessed the impact of obesity on the postoperative course for both
OBJECTIVE
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with percutaneous femoral access (PEVAR) has several potential advantages. Morbidly obese (MO) patients present unique anatomical challenges and have not been specifically studied. This study examines the trends in the use of PEVAR and its surgical
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is increasingly common among patients diagnosed with vascular disease. This article aims to perform systemic review and meta-analysis on 30-day postoperative mortality and complication rate between open (OAR) and endovascular (EVAR) abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in obese
Abdominal aortic aneurysms have been treated by open operative repair for many years. A frequent rate of morbidity is associated with the natural history of abdominal aortic aneurysms in combination with open surgical repair. Recently a new technique that is less surgically invasive has been
BACKGROUND
Obesity is increasingly common in patients referred for the management of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Evidence of the effect of obesity on outcomes after endovascular repair (EVAR) is not well established. We sought to compare the immediate and midterm outcomes of elective EVAR
With the increasing prevalence of severe obesity worldwide, surgical treatment for severely obese patients is becoming more popular. Bariatric surgery has occasionally been performed as a precursor to major operations for serious diseases to make these difficult surgeries safer for severely obese
Aneurysms of the coronary arteries are uncommon occurrences that usually develop secondary to atherosclerosis and are often asymptomatic. We present a 57-year-old male patient who presented with the diagnosis of an inferior wall acute myocardial infarction with a large aneurysm of the right coronary
Persistent sciatic artery is a relatively uncommon peripheral vascular malformation of the lower extremity arterial blood supply that is often misdiagnosed. We present a case report of a 52-year-old, obese female who presented to our center with symptoms of lower extremity ischemia. We describe a
