Volume-Outcome Relationships in Surgical and Endovascular Repair of Aortic Dissection

ConclusionsThis study demonstrated lower mortality at high-volume hospitals for overall repair of aortic dissection, persisting separately for surgical repair of TAAD and TBAD, but not TEVAR. As endovascular technology advances and practice patterns consequently change, analyses should focus on understanding the balance between procedural volume, mortality, and access to care for thoracic aortic dissection.Graphical abstract
