A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Traditional and Fast‐Track Patient Care in Elective Open Infrarenal Aneurysm Repair

Abstract

An optimized patient care program in open infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair shows favorable results concerning need for postoperative assisted mechanical ventilation, time to full enteral feeding, and incidence of medical complications. Further ranomized multicentric trials are necessary to justify broad implementation (clinical trials. gov identifier NCT 00615888).
