Despite acceptable results reported with endovascular thoracic aortic repair (TEVAR), recent studies have questioned the merit of repair in asymptomatic patients considered high risk for open surgery. In this group, advanced age or comorbid conditions may reduce life expectancy, thus limiting the benefit of elective aneurysmectomy. This study was conducted to determine whether elective TEVAR improves survival for this cohort.
