A 15-year comparative analysis of open and endovascular repair for the ruptured descending thoracic aorta
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 10/01/09
Patel HJ et al. – An endovascular approach for the ruptured descending thoracic aorta reduces early morbidity, mortality, and duration of hospitalization, while providing equivalent late outcomes even in an older group largely considered high risk for open repair. These data support a paradigm shift, with TEVAR emerging as the preferred therapy for all patients presenting with descending aortic rupture.
