When similar is not the same: sex-specific outcomes and risk factors in thoracoabdominal aortic repair
Overall outcomes and survival following thoracoabdominal aortic repair were comparable between men and women. However, underlying risk factors for early mortality differed fundamentally between sexes. These findings underscore the importance of a sex-specific preoperative risk assessment in the surgical decision-making process prior to open thoracoabdominal aortic repair.
