Female sex independently predicts mortality after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for intact descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

Abstract: Objective While sex differences in the pathogenesis, presentation, and outcomes of repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms are well studied, less is known about sex differences following thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR). The goal of this study was to evaluate the association between sex and morbidity and mortality following TEVAR. Methods A retrospective review of all TEVAR in the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative (SVS-VQI) registry from 2011–2015 was conducted, excluding th… Show more
