Infection risk after aortic repair: what the data show
NCT ID NCT05405790
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to find out how often infections happen after a procedure called TEVAR, which repairs the main artery in the chest. Researchers looked at data from 457 patients who had this surgery in the past five years. They measured infection rates, fever, and lab results to better understand risks and guide antibiotic use.
