PURPOSE: This study reviewed the long-term outcome of @entity1 who underwent open repair of infrarenal @entity1028 ( @entity1028 ). METHODS: A retrospective study of 208 @entity1 (188 @entity1 and 20 @entity1 ) with a mean age of 65.6 years who survived elective or emergency open repair of an infrarenal AAA was conducted at a university referral hospital. Main outcome measures included late graft-related complications, survival free from any reintervention, survival free from any vascular reintervention, and overall survival rates. RESULTS: Late graft-related complications occurred in 32 @entity1 (15.4%). A proximal para-anastomotic @entity2849 developed in six @entity1 (2.9%), and a distal @entity2849 developed in 18 @entity1 (8.7%); in seven of these cases (3.4%), it was bilateral or recurrent. A graft limb occlusion occurred in 11 @entity1 (5.3%). These complications required 37 surgical or other invasive procedures in 27 @entity1 (13.0%). Thirty-one vascular and/or endovascular reoperations were performed. The 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year survival free from any reintervention rates were 91.5%, 86.2%, and 72.0%, respectively. At the same intervals, the survival free from any vascular reintervention rates were 93.8%, 88.5%, and 73.9%, respectively, and the overall survival rates were 66.8%, 39.4%, and 18.0%, respectively. Complications associated with a ruptured femoral @entity2849 , a ruptured aortic @entity2849 , an @entity292 , and the elective repair of a femoral @entity2849 were the graft-related causes of @entity204 , which occurred in four @entity1 (1.9%). Age (P <.0001) and @entity1030 (P =.002) were shown by means of multivariate analysis to be predictive of poor survival outcome, and @entity1030 (P =.02) and lower limb @entity63 (P =.04) were shown to be associated with an increased need for vascular reinterventions to treat graft-related complications. CONCLUSION: Open repair of infrarenal @entity1028 can achieve satisfactory 15-year follow-up rates of survival free from reintervention for any graft-related complications, suggesting that surgery should still be considered the procedure of choice for infrarenal @entity1028 , at least in @entity1 who are fit for surgery.
