These guidelines establish a standardized reporting format for TEVAR procedures to improve the comparability and scientific validity of future publications.
Adoption of standardized TEVAR reporting should improve clinical data quality; extends prior efforts to enable comparable aortic research.
Summary Endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta (TEVAR) is rapidly expanding, with new devices and techniques, combined with classical surgical approaches in hybrid procedures. The present guidelines provide a standard format for reporting results of treatment in the thoracic aorta, and to facilitate analysis of clinical results in various therapeutic approaches. These guidelines specify the essential information and definitions, which should be provided in each article about TEVAR: Definitions of disease conditionsExtent of the diseaseComorbiditiesExact demographics of the patient materialDescription of the procedure performedDevices which were utilizedMethods for reporting early and late mortality, and morbidityReinterventions and additional proceduresStatistical evaluation It is hoped that strict adherence to these criteria will make the future publications about TEVAR more comparable, and will enable the readership to draw their own, scientifically validated conclusions about the reports.

Turina et al. (2009) conducted a review in Thoracic aorta disease. Endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta (TEVAR) was evaluated. The EACTS/ESCVS guidelines provide a standard format for reporting results of endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta (TEVAR) to facilitate analysis and comparability of clinical results.
