Journal of vascular surgery·2016

Minimal incision aortic surgery (MIAS) offers a safe and cost-effective alternative for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD), comparable to traditional open or endovascular methods.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) are significant vascular conditions.
  • Traditional open surgical repair can involve substantial morbidity and cost.
  • Minimally invasive aortic surgery (MIAS) aims to reduce surgical trauma and improve patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical and economic impact of MIAS for AAA and AIOD.
  • To compare MIAS outcomes and costs against standard open repair and endovascular stent-grafts.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study comparing 50 MIAS patients with 50 standard open repair patients and 32 endovascular repair patients.
  • Outcomes assessed included perioperative complications, hospital stay, ICU stay, and return to diet.

  • Economic analysis focused on cost-efficiency, primarily driven by length of stay and intraoperative expenses.

    • Main Results:

    • MIAS and endovascular repair demonstrated shorter hospital and ICU stays compared to standard open repair, both with and without complications.
    • Overall morbidity and mortality rates were comparable across MIAS, endovascular, and standard open repair groups.
    • MIAS proved more cost-efficient than both standard open repair and endovascular repair, mainly due to reduced hospital stay and direct costs.

    Conclusions:

    • MIAS is a safe and effective treatment option for AAA and AIOD, with clinical outcomes similar to standard open and endovascular repairs.
    • MIAS presents a more cost-efficient approach compared to both standard open and endovascular aortic repair strategies.
