Nationwide database analysis of one-year readmission rates after open surgical or thoracic endovascular repair of Stanford Type B aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We examined readmissions and resource use during the first postoperative year in patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair or open surgical repair of Stanford type B aortic dissection.

Methods

The Nationwide Readmissions Database (2016-2018) was queried for patients with type B aortic dissection who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair or open surgical repair. The primary outcome was readmission during the first postoperative year. Secondary outcomes included 30-day and 90-day readmission rates, in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and cost. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine risk factors for readmission.

Results

During the study period, type B aortic dissection repair was performed in 6456 patients, of whom 35
