Impact of frailty on outcomes of patients undergoing elective endovascular thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Frailty seems to be associated with worse perioperative outcomes. CFS is a reliable tool to quantify the degree of disability due to frailty and to better assess the risks and benefits of endovascular TAAA repair. Frailty is not equated with inoperability but indicate the need for a tailored approach for the more vulnerable patients. Larger studies and a widespread use of frailty screening methods are needed to confirm its efficacy in the prediction of outcomes after endovascular interventions.
