Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: Of 343 patients, 98 had descending thoracic aortic aneurysms, 69 had Crawford type I thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, 111 had type II, 32 had type III, and 33 had type IV. Emergency or urgent operations comprised 13% of repairs. Hospital mortalities were 5.0% for all cases, 3.7% for elective cases, and 13.3% for urgent or emergency cases. Overall incidences were 4.4% for stroke, 3.2% for paraplegia or paraparesis, 1.5% for renal failure requiring dialysis, and 3.5% for tracheostomy. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates were 90%, 79%, 69%, and 54%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:
