Endovascular Repair for Thoracic Aortic False Aneurysms: Single-Center Experience in 102 Patients

Abstract

Satisfactory early and midterm outcomes have been achieved with endovascular repair in this series. Although emergent or urgent patients had higher rates of early mortality and morbidity, the majority of them achieved stable late survival as long as they survived at least 6 months. These results argue favorably for use of endovascular repair in the management of patients with thoracic aortic false aneurysms.

Outcomes of surgical repairs for thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysms after cardiovascular surgery

“…Xue et al also described an early mortality of 3.9%, and 1‐ and 3‐year survival rates of 86.7% and 84.5%, respectively. The survival rate in the elective surgery group was significantly higher than that in the emergency group (log‐rank p = 0.0021) …”

“…Also, a localized aortic pseudoaneurysm is an ideal pathology for endovascular aortic repair because of the good proximal and distal landing zones. 13 Roselli respectively.
