Impact of Familial History of Aortic Disease on Endovascular Repair of Complex Aortic Aneurysms

Objective: Familial predisposition is a well known risk factor for developing complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAAs) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs), affecting approximately one in five patients. However, the clinical significance of family history (FH) of aortic disease on the outcomes of fenestrated branched endovascular aneurysm repair (FB-EVAR) has not been well described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of FH of aortic disease on early and mid-term outcomes of FB-EVAR for treatment of complex aortic aneurysms (CAAs).
