Clinical features and survival analysis of non-hypertensive aortic dissection patients post-thoracic endovascular aortic repair: a 10-year retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical characteristics and predictors for aortic adverse events (AAEs) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of non-hypertensive aortic dissection (AD) patients remain unclear. This study sought to clarify the clinical features of non-hypertensive AD and its incidence of AAEs after TEVAR.

Methods

Clinical data were collected from the electronic medical records, imaging databases and follow-up. Baseline characteristics were balanced by propensity score matching (PSM). Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were performed to asses postoperative AAEs and risk factors.

Results

Eight hundred and eighty-eight eligible AD patients who had received TEVAR were included. The proportion of males (72.2% vs. 80.6%
