Outcomes after endovascular vs open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair: A population-based study
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Dec 05, 2019
Rocha RV, Lindsay TF, Austin PC, et al. - The early and late outcomes of endovascular vs open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair were determined via performing a multicenter population-based study across the province of Ontario, Canada, from 2006 to 2017. Using an algorithm of administrative codes validated against the operative records, researchers identified a total of 664 adults undergoing surgical repair of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (endovascular: n = 303 [45.5%] vs open: n = 361 [54.5%]). The analysis revealed improved early outcomes in correlation to performing endovascular repair but with higher rates of secondary procedures after discharge. After thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair, they observed poor long-term survival which was independent of the repair technique.
