Racial Disparities in Symptomatic Presentation After TEVAR Do Not Compromise Long-Term Survival: Insights from 3,220 Patients in the Vascular Quality Initiative

Quality Initiative (VQI) registry data.Key Findings: Among 3,220 patients, visible minorities had 1.67 times higher odds of symptomatic presentation (51.6% vs 18.3%; P < .001).However, 8-year survival (88.2% vs 87.3%; P = .048)and aneurysm sac remodeling (P = .775)were comparable to White patients across all center volumes.Take home Message: Although racial minorities present with symptomatic disease at twice the rate of White patients, long-term survival and sac remodeling after TEVAR are equitable, suggesting endovascular intervention effectively mitigates risks associated with urgent presentation.
