Official Title: Comparison of Intravenous Anesthetics and Volatile Anesthetics on Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction of Patients Undergoing Endovascular Repair of Aortic Aneurysm and Endovascular Treatment of

Brief Summary: Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm and endovascular treatment of arteriosclerosis obliterans of lower extremities are two kinds of common surgeries in the investigators' hospital. The effects of anesthetic agents on postoperative outcome, especially cognitive function, are not clear. In this study investigators propose to measure postoperative cognitive function and other outcome of patients who are undergoing these two kinds of surgeries, and try to identify whether there is an association between different kinds of anesthetics and postoperative outcome. Investigators will also observe whether changes in plasma levels of VEGF, TGF-1, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, are associated with postoperative delirium or cognitive change.

Current Primary Outcome: Number of patients with postoperative cognitive dysfunction [ Time Frame: 7 days after surgery ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Number of patients with postoperative cognitive dysfunction [ Time Frame: 3 months after surgery ]
  • Changes in plasma levels of VEGF, TGF-1, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 (a composite outcome measure) [ Time Frame: 3 days after surgery ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
