| アブストラクト | OBJECTIVES: We conducted a detailed comparison of inpatient medical costs between endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and open aneurysm repair (OAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms. METHODS: We evaluated 312 EVAR and 205 OAR cases performed at our institution between January 2007 and December 2017. Patient background characteristics were adjusted between the EVAR and OAR groups using propensity score matching (PSM). Surgical outcomes and inpatient medical costs were compared. RESULTS: After PSM, 161 cases were included in each group for comparison. Operative time, blood loss, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and hospital stay were significantly lower in the EVAR group than in the OAR group. Total inpatient medical costs were significantly higher in the EVAR group (3111x 10(3) vs. 2156 x 10(3) JPY [Japanese yen], p <0.01). The surgical material costs in the EVAR group were significantly higher than those in the OAR group, accounting for 58% of total medical expenses. Other costs (diagnosis procedure combination, ICU management, surgical procedure, transfusion, intraoperative injection, and room) were all lower in the EVAR group than in the OAR group. CONCLUSIONS: The cost-saving effects of EVAR, such as reduced transfusion costs and ICU stay fees, were offset by the significantly higher cost of surgical materials. |
