Introduction: The Hungarian Society for Vascular Surgery decided to analyse and publish regularly the data of the Hungarian Vascular Registry.
Aim: The aim of the authors was to present the outcome of infrarenal aortic aneurysm surgeries performed during the past five years.
Method: Prospectively collected multicentric data obtained from the Hungarian Vascular Registry between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014 were analysed retrospectively. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test and odds ratio calculation.
Results: It was found that 16.72% of the 1435 operations were performed for ruptured aneurysms. Five institutes having the highest capacity performed 78.4% of the operations. In the ruptured aortic aneurysm group the age of patients was 71.77±9.82 years (mean±SD), and perioperative mortality was 33.75%. In the intact aortic aneurysm group the age of patients was 69.50±8.46 years and the perioperative mortality was 3.51%. In both groups perioperative mortality (ruptured: p<0,05, OR = 0.11; intact: p<0.05, OR = 0.26) and the length of hospital stay (ruptured: p<0.05, OR = 4.55; intact: p<0.001, OR = 4.27) were significantly lower in patients who had endovascular repair compared to those with open repair. In both groups perioperative mortality (ruptured: p<0.0001, OR = 0.32; intact: p<0.0001, OR = 0.23) and length of hospital stay (ruptured: p<0.05, OR = 3.16; intact: p<0.001, OR = 3.84) were significantly lower in the five institutes having the highest capacity than in the remaining institutes.
Conclusions: In patients having endovascular repair and in institutes with high capacity the perioperative mortality and length of hospital stay were significantly lower.
