“…A suitable method is the analysis of quality of life as subjectively experienced health from the patient’s point of view [ 23 ]. With decreased morbidity and mortality in various treatment techniques, HRQoL became a more important parameter in clinical trials [ 18 , 24 , 25 ]. The SF-36 is currently the most widely used and fast performable questionnaire for surveying HRQoL [ 26 ].…”

Postoperative quality of life is an important outcome parameter after treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The aim of this retrospective single-center study was to assess and compare the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients after open repair (OR) or endovascular treatment (EVAR), and furthermore to investigate the effect of incisional hernia (IH) formation on HRQoL. Patients who underwent OR or EVAR for treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm between 2008 and 2016 at a University Medical Center were included. HRQoL was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. The incidence of IH was recorded from patient files and by telephone contact. SF-36 scores of 83 patients (OR: n = 36; EVAR: n = 47) were obtained. The mean follow-up period was 7.1 years. When comparing HRQoL between OR and EVAR, patients in both groups scored higher in one of the eight categories of the SF36 questionnaires. The incidence of IH after OR was 30.6%. In patients with postoperative IH, HRQoL was significantly reduced in the dimensions “physical functioning”, “role physical” and “role emotional” of the SF-36. Based on this data, it can be concluded that neither OR nor EVAR supply a significant advantage regarding HRQoL. In contrast, the occurrence of IH has a relevant impact on the HRQoL of patients after OR.

“…They found that if the patients do not understand the postoperative impact on daily life, they are unprepared for complications and limitations during the recovery period. Several studies have reported decreased mental and physical quality of life following OR (Akbulut et al., 2018 ; Pettersson et al., 2012 ). However, from a long‐term perspective, other life circumstances also affect patients’ recovery and well‐being (Pettersson & Bergbom 2018 ).…”

Patients’ body image after open abdominal surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysm – Perceptions and experiences

2022

Aims To explore and gain an understanding of patients’ perceptions and experiences of their body and bodily function in connection with open surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Background After the operation of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) it may be difficult for the patients to understand what the procedure means. Design The design was descriptive and based on an analysis of 13 audio‐taped consultations with patients undergoing open surgery for AAA at a Swedish university hospital. The patients’ age varied from 57–79 and the mean age was 71 (70.5 female). Methods A hermeneutic approach was used whereby patients were interviewed and draw a picture of their thoughts and experiences of the surgery and what had been done in their bodies. Once patients had finished their drawings, the interviewer asked what thoughts and experiences they had of the AAA. Results Patients described experiences as a process of “going from broken to whole again.”

“…Research indicates that the adoption of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) offers superior outcomes compared to Open Repair (OR) [5]. Noteworthy advantages associated with EVAR include reduced perioperative mortality rates, lower complication rates, fewer needs for blood transfusions, shortened hospitalization durations, improved early-stage results, and better mental health [10]. Although decreased 30-day perioperative mortality is observed after EVAR, the OR shows significantly better results in midterm (2-6 years).…”

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is becoming increasingly popular around the world not only in engineering but also in the medical industry. This trend is visible, especially in aortic modeling for both training and treatment purposes. As a result of advancements in 3D technology, patients can be offered personalized treatment of aortic lesions via physician-modified stent grafts (PMSG), which can be tailored to the specific vascular conditions of the patient. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate the utility of 3D printing in PMSG in aortic lesion repair by examining procedure time and complications. Methods: The systematic review has been performed using the PRISMA 2020 Checklist and PRISMA 2020 flow diagram and following the Cochrane Handbook. The systematic review has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews: CRD42024526950. Results: Five studies with a total number of 172 patients were included in the final review. The mean operation time was 249.95± 70.03 min, and the mean modification time was 65.38 ± 10.59 min. The analysis of the results indicated I2 of 99% and 100% indicating high heterogeneity among studies. The bias assessment indicated the moderate quality of the included research. Conclusions: The noticeable variance in the reviewed studies’ results marks the need for larger randomized trials as clinical results of 3D printing in PMSG have great potential for patients with aortic lesions in both elective and urgent procedures.
