Methods
The National Inpatient Sample was reviewed for all TEVARs performed
between 2010 and 2017 for Type B aortic dissection and descending
thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA). We compared groups stratifying by their
racial/ethnicity background in whites, black, Hispanic, and others. A
mixed-effects logistic regression was performed to assess the
relationship between race/ethnicity and the primary outcome, in-hospital
mortality.
