Long-term results of endovascular repair in thoracic aortic pathologies: 14 years of single center experience

Aim: Although short- and medium-term efficacy and safety of endovascular interventions in thoracic aortic pathologies have been proven, their long-term results and effects on survival are still controversial. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of pathology type, emergency and elective intervention, and accompanying diseases on long-term survival and development of complications in long-term follow-up. Material and Methods: A total of 142 patients who underwent Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) between July 2010 and December 2024 were included. Retrospective analysis was performed. Patients were divided into groups as emergency and elective and also according to pathology type and analyses were performed. Primary outcome was determined as thoracic aortic pathology types and 5 and 14-year survival in emergency and elective patients, and secondary outcomes were determined as the effects of factors such as age, gender, and additional diseases on the development of complications and survival. Statistical significance was determined as p value [Turk J Vasc Surg 2025; 34(1.000): 70-8]
