Abstract
BACKGROUND: Open repair is the gold standard management for juxtarenal aneurysms. Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is indicated for high-risk patients. The long-term outcomes of FEVAR are largely unknown, and there is no Level I comparative evidence. This systematic review and meta-analysis of case series compares elective juxtarenal aneurysm surgery by open repair and FEVAR. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted for all published studies on elective repair of juxtarenal aneurysms by FEVAR and open repair. The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched from 1947 to April 2013. The exclusion criteria were case series of <10 patients or ruptured aneurysms. The primary outcomes were perioperative mortality and postoperative renal insufficiency. The secondary outcomes were secondary reinterventions and long-term survival. RESULTS: We identified 35 case series with data on 2326 patients. Perioperative mortality was 4.1% in open repair and FEVAR case series (odds ratio for open repair with FEVAR, 1.059; 95% confidence interval, 0.642-1.747; P = .822). Postoperative renal insufficiency was not significantly different (odds ratio for open repair with FEVAR, 1.136; 95% confidence interval, 0.754-1.713; P = .542). FEVAR patients had higher rates of secondary reintervention, renal impairment during follow-up, and a lower long-term survival compared with open repair patients. CONCLUSIONS: FEVAR and open repair have similar short-term outcomes but have diverging long-term outcomes that may be secondary to the selection bias of FEVAR being offered to high-risk patients. FEVAR is a favorable option in high-risk patients, and open repair remains viable as the gold standard.
