Consecutive patients treated with EVAR (Zenith\n                    <jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n                    stent grafts; Cook) between May 1998 and February 2006 were prospectively enrolled in a computerized database, together with retrospectively collected data on medication, and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic variables. Mortality was assessed on 1 December 2010. The median follow-up time was 68 months and the median age was 74 years (range 53\u201389) for the 304 patients. Mortality at the end of follow-up was 54.3% (165\/304). The proportion of deaths caused by vascular diseases was 61% (101\/165). In the univariate analysis, low preoperative ejection fraction (EF) ( p = 0.004), absence of statin medication ( p = 0.007), and medication with diuretics ( p = 0.028) or digitalis ( p = 0.016) were associated with an increased long-term mortality rate. Myocardial ischemia on electrocardiogram (ECG) (hazard ratio (HR) 1.6 [95% CI 1.1\u20132.4]) and anemia (HR 1.5 [95% CI 1.0\u20132.1]) were found to be independent predictors for long-term mortality after Cox regression analysis. There was a trend that chronic kidney disease, stage \u2265 3 (HR 1.5 [95% CI 1.0\u20132.2]), and age 80 years and above (HR 1.5 [95% CI 1.0\u20132.4]) were independently associated with long-term mortality. In conclusion, ischemia on ECG and anemia were independently related to an increased long-term mortality rate after EVAR, and these predictive factors seem to be most important for critical assessment in the preoperative medical work-up.\n
