Identifying risk factors for early neurological outcomes following thoracic endovascular aortic repair using the SUMMIT database

Abstract

Acute TBAD and prolonged procedure time increased early stroke risk, while more endografts placed, age and preoperative renal impairment increased early paraplegia or paraparesis risk. For acute TBAD, endograft placement proximal to the LSA, but not LSA patency, increased stroke risk.
