About this trial
Though the application of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for treatment of aortic pathology is expanding, there remains a gap in the literature examining how intraoperative "reduction or elimination of aortic impulse" (REAI) techniques, in particular the use of right atrial occlusion, may impact patient important clinical outcomes. This study aims to provide prospective data from a large cohort of TEVAR patients to explore clinical outcomes following TEVAR procedures and, specifically, whether right atrial occlusion has significant impact on clinical outcomes, as compared to other REAI techniques. The results from this study may inform future perioperative TEVAR practices and improve TEVAR patient outcomes.
