Females are at increased risk of mortality compared to males after complex endovascular aortic repair. This study aims to examine sex-related peri-operative and follow-up outcomes in patients managed with the t-Branch device.
A two-center retrospective analysis of patients managed with the off-the-shelf t-Branch device (Cook Medical Inc., Bjaeverskov, Denmark) between 1 January 2014 and 30 September 2020 was performed. Primary outcomes were sex-comparative 30-day mortality, major adverse events (MAEs) and spinal cord ischemia (SCI).
A total of 542 patients were included; 28.0% were females. Urgent repair and type I-III thoracoabdominal aneurysms were more common among females (52.6% vs. 34%, = 0.01, and 57.1% vs. 35.8%, = 0.004). Technical success was similar (97.4% vs. 96.9%, = 0.755), as well as early mortality (16.2% in females vs. 10.8% in males; = 0.084). SCI rates were similar between groups (13.6% vs. 9.2% = 0.183). MAEs were more common in females; 33.7% vs. 21.4% ( = 0.022). Multivariate analysis did not identify sex as an independent predictor of adverse events. The 12-month survival rate was 75.7% (SE 0.045) for females and 84.1% (SE 0.026) for males (log rank, = 0.10).
Sex was not detected as an independent factor of mortality, MAEs and SCI within patients managed with the t-Branch device. Feasibility was high in both groups. No significant difference was shown in survival during the 12-month follow-up.
与男性相比,复杂的血管腔内主动脉修复术后女性的死亡风险更高。本研究旨在探讨使用t-Branch装置治疗的患者与性别相关的围手术期和随访结果。
对2014年1月1日至2020年9月30日期间使用现成的t-Branch装置(丹麦比耶沃斯科夫库克医疗公司)治疗的患者进行了一项双中心回顾性分析。主要结局为性别比较的30天死亡率、主要不良事件(MAE)和脊髓缺血(SCI)。
共纳入542例患者;28.0%为女性。女性中急诊修复和I-III型胸腹主动脉瘤更为常见(分别为52.6%对34%,P = 0.01;57.1%对35.8%,P = 0.004)。技术成功率相似(97.4%对96.9%,P = 0.755),早期死亡率也相似(女性为16.2%,男性为10.8%;P = 0.084)。两组间SCI发生率相似(13.6%对9.2%,P = 0.183)。MAE在女性中更为常见;分别为33.7%对21.4%(P = 0.022)。多变量分析未将性别确定为不良事件的独立预测因素。女性的12个月生存率为75.7%(标准误0.045),男性为84.1%(标准误0.026)(对数秩检验,P = 0.10)。
在使用t-Branch装置治疗的患者中,未发现性别是死亡率、MAE和SCI的独立因素。两组的可行性都很高。在12个月的随访期间,生存率无显著差异。
