    MEDTRONIC RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE JOURNAL ARTICLE ENTITLED; OBESITY AS AN INDEPENDENT PREDICTOR OF OUTCOME AFTER ENDOVASCULAR ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM REPAIR. ATHANASIOS SARATZIS, MAHMUD SAEDON, NIKOLAOS MELAS, GEORGE D. KITAS, AND ASIF MAHMOOD, ANN VASC SURG 2014; 28: 816¿822. A TALENT STENT GRAFT SYSTEMS WAS IMPLANTED IN PATIENTS FOR THE ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT OF ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM. DURING THE RETROSPECTIVE STUDY THE FOLLOWING ADVERSE EVENTS WERE OBSERVED: DEATH, BLOOD TRANSFUSION, WOUND INFECTION, THROMBOSIS, STROKE, TYPE I AND II ENDOLEAK, ISCHEMIA, MI, SEPSIS. BACKGROUND: OBESITY IS INCREASINGLY COMMON IN PATIENTS REFERRED FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF AN ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM (AAA). EVIDENCE OF THE EFFECT OF OBESITY ON OUTCOMES AFTER ENDOVASCULAR REPAIR (EVAR) IS NOT WELL ESTABLISHED. WE SOUGHT TO COMPARE THE IMMEDIATE AND MIDTERM OUTCOMES OF ELECTIVE EVAR BETWEEN OBESE AND NONOBESE PATIENTS IN A CASE CONTROL STUDY. METHODS: PATIENTS UNDERGOING ELECTIVE EVAR WERE DIVIDED IN 2 GROUPS: OBESE (DEFINED AS A BODY MASS INDEX [BMI] _30 KG/M2) AND NONOBESE (MEAN BMI [KG/M2] ± SD: 33 ± 1 VS 25 ±3). BOTH GROUPS WERE CASE-MATCHED FOR AGE, SEX, SMOKING, AND AAA DIAMETER. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE PATIENTS WERE INCLUDED (MEAN AGE: 69 ± 9 YEARS; 10 WOMEN [9%]; MEAN BMI: 28 ± 5 KG/M2; 53 WERE OBESE AND 106 WERE NONOBESE). ALL ANEURYSMS WERE SUCCESSFULLY EXCLUDED. MEAN FOLLOW-UP WAS 34 ± 13 MONTHS. RESULTS: ALL PATIENTS WHO DEVELOPED A COMPLICATION WITHIN THE PERIOPERATIVE PERIOD (_30 DAYS) WERE OBESE (P ¼ 0.01). THIRTEEN PATIENTS (8.2%) DIED DURING FOLLOW-UP (8 OBESE VERSUS 5 NONOBESE; P ¼ 0.76). SURVIVAL AND NONPROCEDURE-RELATED MORBIDITY DID NOT DIFFER S IGNIFICANTLY BETWEEN THE OBESE AND NONOBESE GROUPS (P ¼ 0.64 AND 0.16; LOG-RANK TEST). BMI WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MORTALITY OR NONEPROCEDURE-RELATED MORBIDITY ON MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS (MORTALITY HAZARD RATIO: 1.0 [95% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL: 0.9E1.2]; P ¼ 0.37; NONPROCEDURE RELATED MORBIDITY HAZARD RATIO: 1.0 [95% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL: 0.9E1.1], P ¼ 0.2). CONCLUSIONS: THIS IS THE FIRST CASE CONTROL STUDY TO ASSESS THE INDEPENDENT IMPACT OF OBESITY IN THE OUTCOME AFTER EVAR. NO DIFFERENCE WAS DOCUMENTED WITH REGARDS TO MORTALITY OR NONE ANEURYSM-RELATED MORBIDITY.
