Outcomes after TEVAR
Hemorrhage or transfusion-related complications were the most common
complication identified among all TEVAR admissions with 23.1% (n=
5.850), followed by conduction abnormalities 22.9% (n= 5,807) and acute
kidney failure with 15.3% (n= 3,870). The median length of stay was 6
days (IQR 3 – 10), and the median total hospital charges were $165,500
(IQR 106,600 – 260,000). Adjusted pairwise comparison showed the black
population had the highest proportion of acute kidney failure overall
(13.3% vs. 21.7% vs. 16.1% vs. 15.4%; p<.008), and
compared to white counterparts, presented more frequently paraplegia
(2.62% vs 1.66%; p<.008). No differences were observed in
the total hospital charges between white, black, and Hispanic
populations (Table 2 ).
