Early Outcomes After Branched and Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Repair in Octogenarians.

CONCLUSIONS: Complex endovascular repair in octogenarians has higher early all cause mortality compared with non-octogenarians. Rupture and higher ASA class of ≥4 are independent predictors for early mortality. Age ≥80 years was found to be an independent predictor for higher early all cause mortality.
