Racial Disparities in Long-Term Outcomes After Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair in Black and White Medicare Beneficiaries
Black patients demonstrated increased risk of late aortic-related events after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair after accounting for the competing risk of death and controlling for baseline covariates. Further investigation into structural barriers affecting optimal preoperative medical management and barriers to postoperative health care access is necessary to further elucidate underlying mechanisms for the observed disparities.
