Key result
TEVAR linked to a ~26% increase in LV stroke work and LV mass index.
Why the study?
Does TEVAR increase left ventricular stroke work and mass in patients with descending aortic aneurysms?
Observational (n=8)
No
Does TEVAR increase left ventricular stroke work and mass in patients with descending aortic aneurysms?
Effect estimate: 26% increase
p-value: p=0.012
TEVAR for descending aortic aneurysms is associated with increased left ventricular stroke work and mass, highlighting the physiological impact of endograft stiffness and the need for strict post-procedural blood pressure control.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant stricter post-TEVAR BP control; leaves open effects on outcomes and device design needs.
Bakel et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Descending aortic pathologies (n=8). Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) vs. Pre-TEVAR baseline was evaluated on Left ventricular stroke work (SW) (26% increase, p=0.012). Thoracic endovascular aortic repair was associated with a 26% increase in left ventricular stroke work (P=0.012) and a 26% increase in LV mass index (P=0.017) compared to baseline.
