Risk Factor Analysis of Post-TEVAR Distal Aortic Expansion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Distal aortic expansion (DAE) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) remains a critical long-term outcome-related determinant. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for postoperative DAE through a meta-analysis and meta-regression. METHODS: statistic. Meta-regression was performed to explore potential predictors of DAE. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger's test and funnel plots. RESULTS: Twenty-four studies were included, with a pooled DAE incidence of 27% (95% CI: 21%-35%). Meta-regression indicated that male sex (RR = 3.00, p=0.020), myocardial infarction (RR = 5.98, p
