Poster Abstract

Introduction: Limited data exists for patients undergoing a thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) procedure who are older than or equal to 80 years old (YO). This study sought to examine the national inpatient sample (NIS) database to describe in-hospital outcomes among these older patients.

Methods: The NIS was searched for hospitalizations of adults who underwent a TEVAR procedure in 2019 and 2020. The study compared those aged 80 YO and over to those younger than 80 YO. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality. Secondary outcomes included hospital length of stay (LOS), and total hospital charges (TOTHCG).

Results: This study included 696 patients who underwent TEVAR, of which 35 (5.02%) were 80 years or older. Patients who had a TEVAR and were 80 years and older had higher prevalence of hypertension (57.6% vs. 50.3%, p

Conclusion: In this nationally representative population‐based study, aging was associated with higher mortality and worse outcomes among patients undergoing a TEVAR procedure.
