Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the results of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in large (diameter ≥7 cm) aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. METHODS: This cohort has been extrapolated from the prospective, observational (on-label and off-label), worldwide multicentre Global Registry for Endovascular Aortic Treatment (GREAT) (NCT01658787). Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the baseline aortic diameter: standard aneurysms (
