Survival and patient-centered outcome in a disease-based observational cohort study of patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm

In this study, we address these gaps by reporting two primary end points: 1-year survival and a “good” outcome (defined as successful aneurysm exclusion, freedom from permanent loss of organ system function, and return to preoperative functional status after surgery) in a cohort of TAAA patients, including all nonoperative and operative patients, irrespective of treatment modality.
