Kentaro Inoue, Tadashi Furuyama, Shun Kurose, Shinichiro Yoshino, Ken Nakayama, Sho Yamashita, Koichi Morisaki, Masazumi Kume, Takuya Matsumoto, Masaki Mori , Platelets reflect the fate of type II endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair., Journal of vascular surgery, 10.1016/j.jvs.2019.09.062, 72, 2, 541-548, 2020.08, OBJECTIVE: The management of type II endoleak (T2E) remains controversial because of the heterogeneous outcome. For blood-based screening to detect malignant T2E, we focused on platelets after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and compared them with the prognosis of T2Es. METHODS: From 2007 to 2015, there were 249 patients treated with EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysm who were evaluated retrospectively. The mean follow-up period was 3.5 +/- 0.2 years. T2Es that had aneurysm sac enlargement or converted to type I or type III endoleak were defined as malignant; the other T2Es were considered benign. Cases without any complications, including T2E, were defined as completed. We compared the platelet count on postoperative days (PODs) 1 to 7 with preoperative baseline values among the three groups. Sequentially, we calculated the cutoff of the platelet ratio on POD 7 to the baseline value in relation to malignant T2E using receiver operating characteristic analysis, and the cutoff ratio was 113% (sensitivity, 79%; specificity, 58%). We then reclassified T2E patients into T2E-high platelet (T2E-HP; >/=113%) or T2E-low platelet (T2E-LP; .
