About this trial

The goal of this prospective observational cohort study is to compare health related quality of life in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms treated by either standard or complex EVAR (endovascular aneurysm repair) devices. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Compare differences between the physical scores from the preoperative to the postoperative settings between patients treated with standard EVAR vs non-standard endovascular aortic repair (F-/BEVAR) * To compare long-term physical scores postoperatively between patients treated with standard EVAR vs non-standard endovascular aortic repair (F-/BEVAR) at one year. * To explore at which time points (if ever) patients treated with standard-EVAR and nonstandard endovascular aortic repair (F-/BEVAR) have restored or normalized physical scores measured by SF-12, measured at 30 days, 6 months, 1 and 3 years.

Participants will be asked to fill out forms pre- and postoperatively with regards to health related quality of life.

The different groups for comparison will be either standard EVAR for infrarenal aortic aneurysms or complex EVAR (fenestrated or branched) for paravisceral aortic aneurysms (PVAAA).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Men and women.

Any age (≥18 years)

Planned (elective) endovascular treatment by EVAR, FEVAR or BEVAR.

Patients previously treated by EVAR which are planned for an adjunct fenestrated cuff will not be included in the basic analysis, but included and analysed separately.

Disqualifiers

Inability to understand and/or respond to the study questionnaires that are in Swedish.

Inability to provide an informed consent for participation in the study, orally or in writing (This may be due to linguistic or cognitive limitation).

Participation in other ongoing studies concerning quality of life.

Trial population

All patients with infrarenal or paravisceral aortic aneurysms planned for treatment with EVAR or F-/BEVAR will be invited to participate in the study at the time of consent of the proposed treatment

Group B: Complex EVAR1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Early physical component score changes after standard or complex EVAR procedure.

To compare the difference between the physical scores from the preoperative to the postoperative settings between patients treated with standard EVAR vs non-standard endovascular aortic repair (F-/BEVAR) at 30 days.

Time frame
2026

Secondary outcomes

1

Late physical component score changes after standard or complex EVAR procedure.

To compare long-term physical scores postoperatively between patients treated with standard EVAR vs non-standard endovascular aortic repair (F-/BEVAR) at one year.

Time frame
2026
2

When does physical component scores return to normal after standard or complex EVAR procedures?

To explore at which time points (if ever) patients treated with standard-EVAR and nonstandard endovascular aortic repair (F-/BEVAR) have restored or normalized physical scores measured by SF-12, measured at 30 days, 6 months, 1 and 3 years.

Time frame
