Endovascular treatment outcomes for descending thoracic aortic pathologies in octogenarians: retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the reference treatment for thoracic diseases in high-risk patients. Regarding the aging of the population, the indications for TEVAR in octogenarians are constantly increasing with little data on the results of this treatment in this population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- and medium-term results of TEVAR for descending thoracic aorta diseases in octogenarians' patients.

Methods

In a single-center retrospective study, patients aged 80 years and older who underwent TEVAR for descending thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection between 2000 and 2021 were included. Demographic data, perioperative morbi-mortality, mortality risk factors, and anatomical results were analyzed using the latest avai
