Therapeutic effectiveness of tuberculous aneurysm and risk factors for mortality: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of tuberculous aortic aneurysms (TBAAs) and the risk factors for mortality.

Methods

We reviewed all case reports of TBAAs treated with open surgery or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) from online database in 1996-2021. Only thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms were included.

Results

Eighty cases of open surgery and 42 cases of EVAR were included. The 2-year mortality and perioperative mortality rates of open surgery were 11.3% and 10.0%, respectively. Emergent open surgery had a significantly higher mortality (25.0%) than non-emergent open surgery (6.7%). In the EVAR group, 2-year mortality, perioperative mortality, and TBAA-related mortality were 16.7%, 4.8%, and 10.0%, respectively. Patients
