Abstract
Retrospective, single-center review from Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, WI between 2008 and 2014. In this series, the authors found that the 31 women who underwent elective EVARs had smaller iliac artery diameters at their narrowest diameter (6.8 mm vs 8.0 mm; P < .001), more severe iliac angulation (77% vs 44%; P < .001), and increased risk of postoperative complications (42% vs 11%; P = .003), including myocardial infarction (13% vs 3%; P = .025), wound complications (13% vs 6%; P = .048), stroke, renal failure, and visceral or limb ischemia, compared to 150 men. There were no open conversions and no perioperative mortality. Long-term durability of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) did not differ between the sexes. Women had more complications following EVAR compared to men. Mortality and long-term durability of EVER were the same.
