Gender related access complications after TEVAR The goal of this study was to assess the effect of gender on access complications after Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR), using data from GORE GREAT (Global Registry Endovascular Aortic Treatment) Inclusion criteria: all patients with thoracic aortic disease treated with TEVAR Demographics Medical History Case PlanningType of Treatment Follow-up using computed-tomography angiography (CT-A)
Gender related access complications after TEVAR Main end-point: prevalence of access complications Second end-points: evaluation of access complications stratified for - gender (M vs. F) - age (<75y vs. >75y) - device size (27-34mm vs. 37-45mm) Statistical Analysis - Retrospective analysis - Pearson s χ 2 / Fisher-Exact test - Continuous variables: ± DS - Categorical variables: % - P < 0.050 significant

Gender related access complications after TEVAR Conclusions Access complications are significant higher in women than in men particularly with device of large sheath diameters Younger women showed more frequently access complications compared to those older than 75, reflecting that a women developing atherosclerotic disease in younger age could have a more aggressive disease in all arteries These results suggest a need for more gender dedicated research and therapy, with decreased device delivery size and improvements in EV technology
