Medical & Economical Evaluation of Fenestrated & Branched Stent-grafts to Treat Complex Thoracal Abdominal Aneurysms (Windows2)

October 29, 2014 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Medical & Economical Evaluation of Endovascular Therapy of Complex Thoracal Abdominal Aneurysms (Type 1-3 Thoracal Abdominal Aneurysms) by Fenestrated & Branched Stent-grafts

The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the perioperative mortality severe morbidity and the costs of endovascular versus conventional surgical repair of type 1, 2 and 3 thoracal abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the perioperative mortality severe morbidity and the costs of endovascular versus conventional surgical repair of type 1, 2 and 3 thoracal abdominal aortic aneurysms.

The primary goal of the study is to demonstrate a significant drop in 30-day mortality and life threatening morbidity in the endovascular arm of the study. Our hypothesis, derived from the literature, that the average 30-days mortality is 3% after endovascular repair and 10% after open surgery justifies the design of a prospective study between endovascular therapy (50 patients (amendment n.5 - 9/07/2013) treated in 5 University hospitals with significant experience of the technique) and open repair (220 similar patients analyzed from the national database of the MOH).

In-hospital morbidity are similarly expected to be lower in the endovascular group. The investigators also wish to demonstrate that endovascular repair does not represent a significant overcost, as compared to open repair. The cost of the implantable medical device (IMD), of follow-up screening, and of eventual repeated interventions should be compensated by a reduced stay in intensive care unit ICU, and by a reduced in-hospital length of stay.
