Patient Characteristics Associated With Increased Perioperative Morbidity and Mortality After Open and Endovascular Repair of Descending TAA

Open Surgical Repair	Endovascular Repair
Advanced age⁸	Functional dependence
65–74 y (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.4–2.4; P <0.001)
≥75 y (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 2.0–3.5; P <0.001)
Preoperative renal insufficiency (stage 3 or greater CKD) or hemodialysis	Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm extent
COPD and FEV1 ≤50% predicted	Pulmonary disease
Previous stroke⁹	Need for iliac access
	Zone 1/2 landing for thoracic stent graft⁷

CKD indicates chronic kidney disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; and TAA, thoracic aortic aneurysm.
