Thoracic endovascular <i>vs</i> open surgical repair in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Compared to EVAR, TEVAR revealed lower operative mortality and better perioperative outcomes across all indicators, including hospital and intensive care unit stays, as well as fewer complications, except for those related to vascular problems. Mortality results were also similar in the long run; consequently, more research is required concerning the long-term durability.
