Comparing quality of life after different types of aortic aneurysm repair

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort study aims to evaluate health-related quality of life in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms treated with either standard or complex endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) devices. Participants will complete questionnaires assessing their quality of life before and after the procedure at various intervals over three years. The study will compare physical health scores between the two treatment groups to determine the impact of the type of repair on long-term quality of life outcomes.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* 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.

Exclusion Criteria:

* 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.
