Purpose To evaluate the outcomes of TEVAR vs. OR for pts with TAI
Methods • From 4/2002 to 6/2010 • Urban level 1 trauma center • Prospectively collected data from the institutional trauma registry • Retrospective review of hospital financial accounts Primary: • Mortality (In-Hospital) • Complications Secondary: • Cost • Intensive care unit (ICU) LOS • Pre-operative LOS • Post-operative LOS • Total hospital LOS
Results • 4/ 2002 to 6/ 2010 • 106 patients with TAI 74 32 • Mean Age: 36.4 yrs
Operative Data Open Repair: • N=56 • Tech Success: 98.2% • Operative Mortality: 0% TEVAR: • N=50 • Tech Success: 100% • Operative Mortality: 0% • Devices (N=52) • TAG (WL Gore), N=33 • Talent (Medtronic), N=18 • Other (WL Gore), N=1
Cost Length of Stay
TEVAR Follow Up Imaging Protocol • CTA • 1 month • 6 months • 12 months • Yearly • Compliance 32%
Conclusion • OR pts 3x more likely to have complications or mortality • The cost of TEVAR was NOT significantly different than OR • Findings support use of TEVAR for pts with TAI
