Abstract
The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate, with an 'all-comers' approach, the survival and outcome of patients following secondary surgical or interventional procedures after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Between October 2002 and December 2013, 371 patients with different aortic pathologies underwent primary TEVAR at our institution. Fifty-six out of the 371 patients (15.1%, 18 females, mean age 62.3 ± 13.7 years) required secondary procedures, either interventionally (N = 31; 55.4%) or surgically (N = 25; 44.6%), due to stent graft-related complications. After TEVAR complications comprised endoleaks (N = 28; 7.5%), organ malperfusion (N = 9; 2.4%), aorto-oesophageal/-bronchial fistulae (N = 9; 2.4%), stent graft infections (N = 4; 1.1%), aneurysm progression (N = 3; 0.8%), retrograde type A aortic dissection (N = 2; 0.5%) and aortic regurgitation (N = 1; 0.3%). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 10.7% (N = 5): open surgery (N = 1; 4%) versus reintervention (N = 5; 16%; P = 0.14). The cumulative survival rates after secondary procedures at 6 months, 1 year and 3 years were 80.4, 73.5 and 69.3%, respectively. Postoperative complications either for open surgery or reintervention comprised str...Continue Reading
