title: [Endoprosthetic repair of the abdominal aorta in patients with infrarenal aneurysm and unfavourable anatomy of its proximal neck].
abstract: Analysed herein are immediate and remote results of endoprosthetic repair of the abdominal aorta in patients with unfavourable anatomy of its proximal neck. Group I (Study Group) was composed of 31 patients with unfavourable anatomy of the proximal neck, the control group (Group II) comprised a total of 52 patients with no unfavourable anatomical factors. The criteria of assessment were as follows: technical success, adequate position of the endograft, frequency of the development of various endoleaks, duration of the operation and hospital stay, lethality in the remote period, and necessity of secondary interventions. Technical success of endoprosthetic repair was achieved in 100% of patients in the both groups. An adequate position by the proximal end of the coated portion of the endograft was observed in 27 (87.1%) patients of Group I and in 51 (98.1%) patients of the control group (p=0.08). Secondary postdilatation of the endograft's body in the proximal neck was statistically more often performed in the study group of patients. The duration of the operation and hospital stay in the compared groups had no statistically significant differences. In the remote period, patients with unfavourable morphology of the proximal neck were found to develop type I-A endoleaks into the cavity of the aneurysm. By other evaluated criteria such as the total survival rate, secondary interventions, graft migration, type I-B, II and V endoleaks no statistically significant differences were revealed. It was concluded that endoprosthetic repair of the abdominal aorta in patients with unfavourable anatomy of the proximal neck of the aneurysm is associated with admissible immediate, short- and long-term outcomes. Longer follow up is required in order to more adequately asses the reliability of the obtained findings.
