Elective ascending aortic aneurysm repair outcomes in a nationwide US cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To quantify contemporary outcomes following elective ascending aortic aneurysm repair, to determine risk factors for adverse events and to evaluate difference by institutional surgical volume.

Methods

We included all elective hospitalisations of adult patients with an ascending aortic aneurysm who underwent aneurysm repair in the Nationwide Readmissions Database between 2016 and 2019. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital mortality, stroke (ischaemic and non-ischaemic) and myocardial infarction (MI). We identified independent predictor of adverse events and investigated outcomes by institutional volume.

Results

Among 12 043 patients (mean 62.8 years of age, 28.0% female), MI, stroke or in-hospital death occurred in 598 (4.9%) patients during the
