Why the study?
The number of patients undergoing surgery on the thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aorta has steadily increased, requiring guidance to standardize reporting of clinical profiles, definitions, and outcomes.
The STORAGE guidelines establish standardized reporting criteria for open and endovascular aortic surgery to improve consistency and understanding in the field.
Enhances reporting consistency in aortic surgery; leaves open validation of improved study comparability.
The number of patients undergoing surgery on the thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aorta has been steadily increasing over the past decade. This document aims to give guidance to authors reporting on results in aortic surgery by clarifying definitions of aortic pathologies, open and endovascular techniques and by listing clinical parameters that should be provided for full presentation of patients' clinical profile and in particular, their outcome. The aim is to help find a common language in the treatment of aortic disease and to contribute to a better understanding of this patient population.
