Official Title: Evaluating the Impact of Psoas Muscle Size, Composition, and Clinical Frailty on Long-term Outcomes Following Elective Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: a Multicenter Retrospective Study
Brief Summary:
Sarcopenia, which is characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, has emerged as a significant prognostic biomarker in the field of vascular surgery, particularly regarding endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).This article delves into the implications of sarcopenia on the outcomes of EVAR, emphasizing its predictive value for long-term survival and potential as a tool for patient risk stratification.Recent research suggests that sarcopenia could be used as a biomarker for prognosis.A…
