Early results of the Endurant endograft system in patients with friendly and hostile infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm anatomy.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate and compare the outcome after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with the newly released Endurant endograft system in patients with different aortoiliac anatomic characteristics. METHODS:We conducted a prospective observational study assigning patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated with the Endurant endoprosthesis from February 2009 to March 2010. Two groups were studied, according to the presence of a friendly (group I [GI] = 43) or hostile (group II [GII] = 34) infrarenal aortoiliac anatomy. Hostile profile was defined as any (or combination) of the following measurements: 5 mm ≤ proximal neck length (Lpr) ≤ 12 mm, 60° < proximal neck angle (A°pr) ≤ 90° and 60° < any iliac axis angle (A°iliac) ≤ 90°. Primary end points included technical and clinical success, freedom from early or late secondary interventions, any type of endoleak, and aneurysm-related death. All outcome measures were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log rank test was applied for comparisons between the groups. RESULTS:The mean comorbid severity scoring was higher in GII (P = .018). The mean follow-up period in GI and GII was 12.9 ± 3.9 months (± SD, range: 6.4-19.8) and 12.4 ± 4 months (range: 4.2-19.6), respectively. Two unplanned conversions to aortouniiliac configurations were required in GI. The technical success rate in GI and GII was 95.4% and 100%, respectively. The requirement for intentional occlusion of the internal iliac artery, the requirement for cross-limb technique, the necessity of troubleshooting techniques, the procedure and radiation times, the frequency of postimplantation syndrome, and mean hospital stay were significantly higher in GII (P = .028, P = .013, P = .005, P = .037, P < .001, P = .032, P = .021, respectively). Two patients of GI died in the early postoperative period (one aneurysm but not device-related death), whereas no deaths in GII were recorded, yielding an overall 30-day mortality rate of 2.3%. No type I/III endoleaks were recorded up to the end of the study. Freedom from any type of endoleak, early or late secondary interventions, and aneurysm-related death at 12 months were found in 93.2%, 87.1%, and 93.3% of GI patients; respective values for GII were 86% (P = .21), 93.4% (P = .066), and 93.4%. The clinical success rate was 82.1% and 100% at 12 months for GI and GII, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Early (12 months) results suggest similar clinical performance of the Endurant stent graft system in endovascular treatment of AAAs with friendly and hostile anatomies, however, demonstrating more intra- and perioperative adversities for the last group. Larger prospective studies or even randomized trials comparing different new generation graft models are required to evaluate the comparable long-term results and possible expansion of EVAR indications for this specific endograft in adverse anatomies.
