A consecutive series of 74 patients was analyzed after repair of descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. After hospital discharge there were 13/71 deaths (18%) during a mean follow-up of 60 +/- 20 months (range: 28-107). Actuarial analysis showed a mean survival rate of 89% after 1 year, 78% after 5 years and 71% after 9 years. During the same time period there were reoperations of the aorta in 10/71 patients (14%). Actuarial analysis showed freedom of reoperation in 97% after 1 year and in 80% after 5 years. Elective repair of these aneurysmal lesions can be recommended.
