Key Highlights

  • Study included 195 patients, with 59 treated with antiplatelet drugs.
  • 15.8% experienced major adverse events within 12 months.
  • No significant differences in imaging parameters between AP and NAP groups at 6 months.
  • Maximum aortic diameter, PAU diameter ≥ 10.5 mm, and PAU depth ≥ 7.5 mm were associated with major adverse events.
  • Antiplatelet therapy may be safe for patients with acute PAUs post-TEVAR.

Guideline-Based Recommendations
