Abstract (EN): Background: Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) is a rare subtype of atherosclerotic aneurysms with a pronounced inflammatory response and high risk of perioperative complications. The optimal treatment remains uncertain. This systematic-review with meta-analysis aims to evaluate mortality and perioperative complications in IAAA patients undergoing endovascular repair (EVAR) or open surgical repair (OSR). Methods: A systematic search of randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized interventional studies, case-controlled trials, cohorts, and case series studies was conducted in PubMed, SCOPUS, ISI Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. Mortality and complications were analyzed using binary common and random-effects models. Study quality was assessed with National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Risk of Bias 2 tools. Results: Nineteen studies (656 patients) were included. The pooled estimate of 30-day mortality for EVAR was 2.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.4-6.1%; I-2-0%) and for OSR was slightly higher at 9% (95% CI: 5-15%; I-2-58%). Preoperative hydronephrosis was 12.7% (95% CI: 6.4-19.0%; I-2-0%) for EVAR and 16.5% (95% CI: 12.9-20.2%; I-2-0%) for OSR. Postoperative hydronephrosis was 9.8% (95% CI: 1.1-18.6%; I-2-0%) for EVAR and 6.1% (95% CI: 3.4-8.9%; I-2-0%) for OSR. Conclusion: OSR and EVAR are viable treatment options, with the choice guided by patient-specific factors. While OSR is more technically demanding and carries higher morbidity and mortality, it results in greater hydronephrosis resolution. EVAR, as a less invasive alternative, offers a safer perioperative profile but achieves less pronounced hydronephrosis reduction. Personalized surgical strategies and careful perioperative management are crucial.
