The Effect of Smoking Status on Perioperative Morbidity and Mortality after Open and Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Predictors of 30-Day Postoperative Outcome after Elective Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Tertiary Referral Center Experience

“…Moving on to the possible predictors of postoperative complications, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that aneurysm diameter and past smoking should be considered as independent risk factors for postoperative complications. Although our results support that smoking status should be considered as an independent risk factor for postoperative complications, Peterson et al [24] found that smoking status does not affect the postoperative prognosis of patients undergoing EVAR. Nonetheless, preoperative smoking cessation has been implemented in both the European [1] and the American [25] guidelines since experts suggest that it may reduce the risk of postoperative complications.…”

Experimental and Clinical Studies in Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm : Aspects of Hypothermia and Endovascular Treatment

“…43 Almost immediately after introduction of the EVAR during 1990s debates on pros and cons started. Numerous comparisons between EVAR and open surgical repair have been carried out based on long-term treatment durability, [44][45][46] postoperative complications, 47 mortality, 48,49 quality of life and patient´s experiences, 50 gender aspects, 51 cost effectiveness, 52,53 preferences in treating octogenarians, 54,55 preferences in treating inflammatory or mycotic aneurysms, 56,57 preferences in treating active smokers, 58 preferences in treatment of obese patients, 59 preferences regarding need of redoes and a custom-made approach decided by artificial intelligence. 60 By 2020 there were seven Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) with a total number of 2 983 included patients in elective cases.…”
