Abstract

This study aimed to assess differences in midterm outcomes between total arch replacement (TAR) and debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair (d-TEVAR) and to evaluate the validity of d-TEVAR as the preferred treatment choice for aortic arch aneurysm in the elderly. We reviewed the case histories of 86 patients who had undergone TAR (64 men; mean age 78 ± 2.9 years) and 121 patients who had undergone d-TEVAR (90 men; mean age 82 ± 4.5 years) between 2007 and 2017; of these patients, 50 from each group were matched based on propensity scores to adjust for differences in patient characteristics. Rates of freedom from all-cause mortality at 2 and 4 years were similar between the 2 groups (88% and 77% in the TAR group vs 82% and 64% in the d-TEVAR group, P = 0.11), but rates of freedom from reintervention at 2 and 4 years were significantly higher in the TAR group (100% and 96%) than in the d-TEVAR group (97% and 88%) (P = 0.004). Propensity score matching yielded similar survival rates of 88% and 85% for TAR vs 86% and 71% for d-TEVAR (P = 0.53) and comparable freedom from reintervention rates (100% and 97% in TAR, 98% and 90% in d-TEVAR, P = 0.16) at 2 and 4 years. Cox regression analysis identified previous cerebral infarc...Continue Reading
