Key result
Endovascular repair has become the treatment of choice for acute surgical emergencies involving the descending thoracic aorta, offering lower operative mortality and paraplegia rates compared to open repair.
This review highlights TEVAR as the first-line treatment option for acute descending thoracic aortic emergencies due to its lower morbidity and mortality compared to open surgery.
May guide endovascular preference in thoracic aortic emergencies; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
