28-Year Experience with Ruptured and Symptomatic Type I-III Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms at a Large Tertiary Referral Center.

Open ruptured and symptomatic type I-III TAAA repairs can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Most symptomatic and rupture repairs were performed after transfer from another institution. Postoperative SCI is most strongly related to the preoperative hemodynamic status of the patient.
