Preoperative Risk Factors for 1-year Mortality in Patients Undergoing Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair in the US-Aortic Research Consortium

Early survival (1-year) following elective repair of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) can be utilized as an indicator of successful repair and provides a reasonable countermeasure to the annual rupture risk based on diameter. We aimed to identify preoperative factors associated with 1-year mortality following F/BEVAR and develop a predictive model for 1-year mortality based on patient-specific risk-profiles.
