To evaluate the role of the postimplantation syndrome (PIS) after endovascular repair (EVAR) of infrarenal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in German vascular surgery practice.From January 2012 to April 2012, a total of 124 German departments for vascular surgery were surveyed regarding their experience with PIS using a standardized questionnaire. Categories were EVAR frequency per year, stent graft devices used, PIS incidence, diagnostic criteria for PIS, treatment of PIS, and relevance of PIS as a complication after EVAR.The analyzable return rate was 59.7 % (74/124). In 70.2 % (52/74), the number of EVAR procedures performed was a parts per thousand yenaEuro parts per thousand 25/year. The incidence of PIS was estimated to occur in a parts per thousand currency signaEuro parts per thousand 20 % of cases by 70.2 % (52/74). The diagnostic cut-off values used were body temperature a parts per thousand yenaEuro parts per thousand 38.5 A degrees C, white blood cell count a parts per thousand yenaEuro parts per thousand 12/nl, and C-reactive protein levels of 50-100 mg/l. A variety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used for treatment. For 55.4 % (41/74) of the participating centers, PIS does not represent a relevant complication after EVAR. PIS is nonuniformly treated with nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory agents.The clinical relevance of PIS is still unclear. The lack of defined diagnostic criteria makes it difficult to determine the exact incidence of PIS. Due to the currently limited data on PIS etiology and pathogenesis, the impact on long-term outcome is unknown and the individual burden of patients suffering PIS requires further research.The English full-text version of this article is available at SpringerLink (under "Supplemental").
