Wang J, Wang T, Zhao J, et al. - Researchers here compared the clinical outcomes of performing hybrid repair in one (single) vs two stages (staged) for thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). From the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Databases, they identified a total of 37 studies for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Findings suggest two stage hybrid repair to be a better treatment option for patients with controlled risk of aneurysm rupture, as it can provide lower 30 day mortality risks, MACE, and intestinal complications, as well as comparable mid term outcomes.
