Abstract

Objectives: Few studies have evaluated the association between anesthesia type and outcomes after endovascular angioplasty/stents for aortoiliac occlusive disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between primary anesthesia type and postprocedural complications for endovascular angioplasty of aortoiliac occlusion.<br />Design: Retrospective cohort study.<br />Setting: Multi-institutional.<br />Participants: The study comprised 3,110 patients undergoing endovascular angioplasty of aortoiliac occlusive disease, with 1,974 and 1,136 patients who underwent monitored anesthesia care (MAC) and general anesthesia (GA), respectively. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for the years 2012 to 2016 was used for the present study.<br />Interventions: None.<br />Measurements and Main Results: The final analysis included 3,110 patients, 63% of whom received MAC and 37% of whom received GA. The mean age was 64 years among the GA group, of whom 57.2% were male. The mean age among that MAC group was 65 years, 55.8% of whom were male. After adjusting for demographic factors and preoperative comorbidities, there was a statistically significant lower odds of postoperative complications (ie, pulmonary complications, infection, intraoperative/postoperative transfusion, reoperation, and amputation) and shorter length of stay in the MAC group compared with the GA group (p < 0.05).<br />Conclusions: Although larger observational studies and randomized controlled trials are needed to further evaluate the potential effect of MAC versus GA, MAC anesthesia should be considered for patients undergoing endovascular angioplasty for aortoiliac occlusion.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
