To identify predictive factors for postoperative success and potential predictors for satisfactory outcome of endovascular grafting for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), we collected data from our prospective database, which includes a series of consecutive patients undergoing endovascular repair at the Vascular Surgery Unit, Policlinico Monteluce, Perugia, Italy. From April 1997 to July 1998, 202 patients were referred to our Unit for elective AAA repair; 94 patients (47%) were selected for endografting. Placement of the graft using endovascular technique without conversion to open laparotomy, in addition to no mortality, major morbidity, or endoleak at 30-day follow-up, was defined as postoperative success. The influence of anatomical features on postoperative results was analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Our experience shows that endoluminal repair of AAA is safe and effective in the short term and male patients with small aneurysms are optimal candidates for successful repair.
