Preoperative cerebrospinal fluid drainage was placed in 9 patients (11%) and 18 patients (21%) underwent perioperative supra-aortic transposition. The proximal landing zones were: zone 1 (n = 1, 1%), zone 2 (n = 23, 27%), zone 3 (n = 52, 61%) and zone 4 (n = 9, 11%). Temporary spinal cord injury occurred in 1 patient (1%), permanent spinal cord injury in 7 patients (8%). Two patients (2%) experienced a postoperative stroke. Seventeen patients (20%) expired in-hospital. Aortic dissection (odds ratio: 16.246, p = 0.001), aneurysm (odds ratio: 9.090, P = 0.003) and preoperative shock (odds ratio: 4.646, P < 0.001) were predictive for mortality. Eighteen patients (21%) required a stent-graft-related aortic reintervention for symptomatic supra-aortic malperfusion (n = 3, 4%), endoleaks (n = 6, 7%), a second aortic rupture (n = 4, 5%), retrograde type A aortic dissection (n = 2, 2%), aortic-oesophageal fistulation (n = 2, 2%) and stent-graft kinking (n = 1, 1%).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Thoracic endovascular aortic repair in patients with aortic rupture has become a valuable treatment modality to stabilize patients. However, a significant risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality remains, particularly in patients with aortic dissections, aneurysms or shock. Patients require thorough follow-up ideally in an aortic clinic with a staff having the entire spectrum of cardiovascular and thoracic surgical expertise."],"journal":["Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery"],"pagination":["ivac042"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9714596"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Early and mid-term outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair to treat aortic rupture in patients with aneurysms, dissections and trauma."],"pmcid":["PMC9714596"],"pubmed_authors":["Kondov S","Beyersdorf F","Siepe M","Czerny M","Kreibich M","Benk J","Rylski B","Berger T"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Early and mid-term outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair to treat aortic rupture in patients with aneurysms, dissections and trauma.","description":"<h4>Objectives</h4>The aim of this study was to analyse outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair to treat aortic rupture.<h4>Methods</h4>Patient and outcome characteristics of all emergent endovascular treatments for thoracic aortic rupture between January 2009 and December 2019 were analysed.<h4>Results</h4>Thoracic aortic rupture occurred in patients with aortic aneurysms (n = 42, 49%), aortic dissection (n = 13, 16%) or after trauma (n = 30, 35%).
