Stroke risk and mid-term survival by proximal extent of endovascular aortic repair
Stroke is strongly associated with the proximal landing zone, being more likely when landing proximal to the supra-aortic vessels. Perioperative stroke impacts patient survival and should be taken into consideration during patient selection, and efforts should be made to reduce the risk of stroke during proximal repair.
