Key Points Question What are the long-term durability and efficacy for traumatic thoracic aortic injury being treated by thoracic endovascular aortic repair ? Findings In this cohort study of 287 patients in Taiwan, thoracic endovascular aortic repair was associated with better long-term outcomes, mainly owing to lower mortality during the perioperative period. Meaning This study suggests that thoracic endovascular aortic repair may be more suitable than open repair for patients with traumatic thoracic aortic injury.
