Contemporary outcomes of open thoraco-abdominal aortic repair: a single-centre experience.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Untreated cases of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms pose significant challenges, often leading to severe morbidity and high mortality. While promising, endovascular treatment is not suitable in all cases, particularly younger patients and those with collagen disorders. This study reports on the contemporary outcomes of open thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair at our academic medical centre from 2015 to 2023.

Methods

All patients with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm (Crawford-Safi Types I-V), including elective and non-elective cases, who underwent open surgical repair between January 2015 and December 2023 were included. Patient characteristics, intraoperative variables and postoperative outcomes were prospectively recorded and analysed retrospectively. T
