Hospital Incidence, Sex Disparities, and Perioperative Mortality in Open Surgically Treated Patients with Aneurysms of the Ascending Aorta and Aortic Arch in Switzerland.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the epidemiological shifts in the incidence of ascending and arch aortic aneurysms (AA) treated with open surgery in the context of evolving endovascular options on a national basis.

Methods

Between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2018, 4388 cases were admitted to the hospital with either ruptured (r)AA or non-ruptured (nr)AA as the primary or secondary diagnosis. Patients were classified as having AA based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results

The age-standardized hospital incidence rates for treatment of nrAA were 7.8 (95% confidence interval (CI): 6.9 to 8.7) in 100,000 men and 2.9 (2.4 to 3.4) in 100,000 women and were stable over time. The overall raw in-hospital mortality rate was 2.0% and was significantly lower in males compared to w
