Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate outcomes in patients undergoing open thoracoabdominal aortic replacement after being unsuitable for or following failed endovascular aortic repair.
- Within four years, 80 consecutive patients were analyzed, revealing a diverse patient demographic, with 32.5% having previous endovascular repairs; overall mortality was noted at 20%.
- Results showed no significant difference in survival rates between patients with and without prior endovascular repairs, highlighting that open surgery remains vital for treating thoracoabdominal aortic issues despite a higher initial mortality risk.
