Abstrakt:	Introduction: With the increasing life expectancy of Western populations, more octogenarians are presenting with large abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Endovascular repair offers a less invasive alternative and older patients who may not have been offered open repair in the past are now being considered for elective repair with this approach. Age in isolation may not be the only consideration in recommending elective aneurysm repair. We aimed to review the literature on complex endovascular AAA repairs (mainly fenestrated endovascular aortic repair [FEVAR]) in octogenarians. Methods: A literature search was conducted using the Ovid Medline ® , Embase ® and Cochrane Library databases for articles published up to January 2022. All English language publications from 1995 onwards were eligible for inclusion. Search terms included: "FEVAR", "F-EVAR", "fenestrated EVAR", "fenestrated endovascular aortic repair", "fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair", "fenestrated AAA repair", "fenestrated endograft", "fenestrated stent graft", "fenestrated", "endograft", "EVAR", "octogenarian", "elderly", "above 80" and "over 80". Methods: The literature search identified 134 potential articles. Following qualitative assessment by two independent appraisers, this was refined to 11 studies, in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Results: The primary outcome measure was 30-day mortality, which was highly variable, ranging from 0% to 9% in octogenarians and from 0% to 5% in non-octogenarians. However, these differences were only found to be statistically significant in two studies. The secondary outcome measures included technical success rates, major adverse events, reintervention rates, freedom from reintervention, target vessel patency, freedom from target branch instability, and length of hospital and intensive care unit stay. No statistically significant differences were found between octogenarians and non-octogenarians. Long-term survival was significantly lower for octogenarians in two studies. Conclusions: The perioperative outcomes of FEVAR in octogenarians are comparable with those of younger patients. FEVAR therefore appears to be an acceptable option for complex endovascular aneurysm repairs in carefully selected octogenarians. Nevertheless, this review highlights the paucity of published data on the outcomes of endovascular repair of complex aneurysms in octogenarians.
