Postoperative Complications
Conditions
Brief summary
This study investigated the 30-day postoperative outcome after elective EVAR and the role of possible predictors among patients' baseline characteristics
Detailed description
The study included 322 consecutive AAA patients treated electively with EVAR from March 2016 to February 2019 at a tertiary referral center. Early follow-up with clinical and laboratory evaluation took place at the 30rd day post-operatively. Any adverse event, such as major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), post-implantation syndrome (PIS), acute kidney injury (AKI), and deaths of any cause were recorded.
