Disease relevance of PTAR1
- CONCLUSIONS: The presence of a PTAR did not adversely affect the outcome of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair [1].
- Patients without PTAR were older, had more preoperative comorbid disease, and had more symptomatic or ruptured aneurysms [1].
- BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of previous thoracic aortic aneurysm repair (PTAR) on subsequent thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm operations [1].
- Although differences did not reach statistical significance, patients without PTAR tended toward increased in-hospital mortality (8.5% versus 4.5%; p = 0.078) and postoperative paraplegia/paraparesis rates (6.5% versus 2.8%; p = 0.069) [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PTAR1
- More patients without PTAR had cardiac complications (11.3% versus 5.6%; p = 0.028) and required chronic hemodialysis (5.9% versus 1.1%; p = 0.009) [1].
- RESULTS: Patients with PTAR had more chronic dissections and extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, and consequently required longer clamp and ischemic times and more intraoperative transfusions [1].
