Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for advanced esophageal cancer invading the aorta: A prognosis analysis among 124 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Advanced esophageal cancer invading the aorta is considered an unresectable disease with a poor prognosis. We evaluated the clinical impact of elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair implantation on the prognosis of such patients.

Methods

We retrospectively evaluated patients with advanced esophageal cancer and aortic invasion who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair to assess its prognostic impact under multimodal treatment.

Results

Overall, 124 patients were enrolled. Among these, 16 patients underwent salvage thoracic endovascular aortic repair in response to bleeding from an aorto-esophageal fistula, 46 patients received elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair with esophagectomy after diagnosing aortic invasion by a tumor, and 62 pati
