What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the quality of life in patients undergoing surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using either endovascular repair or traditional open surgery. It utilizes the QoR15 questionnaire, which is specifically validated for evaluating early postoperative recovery. By focusing on patients over 65 years old, the study seeks to provide objective data on how these surgical methods impact quality of life, taking into account the patients' pre-operative state. The study is conducted at a single center in Toulouse, France.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients over 65 years old with an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring over 50mm.
Not a fit: Patients requiring emergent surgery for AAA will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into which surgical approach offers better quality of life outcomes for AAA patients.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been numerous studies on postoperative quality of life, this specific comparison of surgical techniques using a validated scale is relatively novel.
