Abdominelle Aortenaneurysmen – offen oder interventionell? // Abdominal aortic aneurysm – open or endovascular? Journal für Kardiologie - Austrian Journal of Cardiology 2026; 33 (3-4): 81-86 Volltext (PDF) Summary Abbildungen Keywords: abdominelles Aortenaneurysma, Bildgebung, endovaskulärer Aortenrepair, fenestrierte Stentgrafts, gebranchte Stentgrafts, Kardiovaskuläre Risikofaktoren, Leitlinien, Nachsorge, offener Aortenrepair, Screening, abdominal aortic aneurysm, branched stent grafts, cardiovascular risk factors, endovascular aortic repair, fenestrated stent grafts, Follow-up, Guidelines, imaging, open aortic repair, Screening Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is frequently an asymptomatic incidental finding, and prognosis largely depends on adequate open or endovascular repair. Treatment indication is based on aneurysm diameter, growth rate, symptoms, anatomy, and individual life expectancy, guided by current guidelines of the European Society of Vacular and Endovascular Surgery (ESVS) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Open aortic repair provides excellent long-term durability with low reintervention rates at the cost of higher initial invasiveness, whereas endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) offers lower perioperative morbidity, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery. For complex anatomies, fenestrated and branched EVAR techniques have been established. Endovascular procedures require lifelong imaging surveillance. Midterm reintervention rates are significantly higher and there is no advantage concerning long-term (> 8 years) total as well as aneurysm-related mortality. Decision making on the therapeutic approach should be multidisciplinary and must be guided by the individual risk of surgery as well as life expectancy.
Kurzfassung: Das abdominelle Aortenaneurysma
(AAA) ist häufig ein asymptomatischer Zufallsbefund,
dessen Prognose maßgeblich von der adäquaten
gefäßchirurgischen Versorgung abhängt.
Die Indikationsstellung orientiert sich an Durchmesser,
Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit, Symptomatik,
Anatomie und individueller Lebenserwartung unter
Einbezug der aktuellen Leitlinien der Europäischen
Gesellschaft für Gefäßchirurgie (ESVS) wie auch der
Europäischen Gesellschaft für Kardiologie (ESC). |
