Figure 2. Thirty-Day Readmission Rates Following Open Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) Repair and Ventral Hernia Repair.

Figure 2

Early primary care provider (PCP) follow-up significantly reduced 30-day readmission following open TAA repair if a postoperative complication occurred. In comparison, early PCP follow-up was not associated with a significant difference in readmission rates among patients undergoing ventral hernia repair, whether or not a complication occurred.
