The comparative effectiveness of these three treatments was analyzed using data of the National Inpatient Sample, a large U.S. database including patients from 4378 hospitals.enAortic dissection; Endovascular aortic repair; National Inpatient Sample; Vascular surgery[SDGs]SDG3acute kidney failure; adult; aged; aortic dissection; Article; cardiopulmonary complication; cerebrovascular accident; comparative effectiveness; controlled study; endovascular aneurysm repair; female; hospital mortality; hospitalization; human; major clinical study; male; middle aged; open surgery; paraplegia; postoperative complication; postoperative hemorrhage; postoperative infection; priority journal; type b aortic dissection; wound complication; classification; comparative study; dissecting aneurysm; endovascular surgery; retrospective study; thoracic aorta aneurysm; treatment outcome; vascular surgery; very elderly; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Aneurysm, Dissecting; Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic; Endovascular Procedures; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Retrospective Studies; Treatment Outcome; Vascular Surgical Proceduresjournal article10.1016/j.jvs.2019.02.062311766402-s2.0-85066504898https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85066504898
