This study aims to report the mid-term outcomes of fenestrated\/branched endovascular aortic repair (F\/BEVAR) of post-dissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (PDTAAAs) and to compare them with the outcomes of patients treated for degenerative thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (DTAAAs). Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was performed, including all consecutive patients who underwent F\/BEVAR for TAAAs between 2020 and 2025. A total of 95 patients were identified (18 PDTAAAs and 77 DTAAAs). All patients underwent elective repair; ruptured TAAAs were excluded. A comparative analysis was performed between the PDTAAA and DTAAA groups. Results: During the study period, a total of 95 patients who underwent F\/BEVAR for TAAAs (mean age 66 \u00b1 10 years, males n = 68, 72%) were identified. Eighteen patients (males n = 14, 78%) underwent F\/BEVAR for PDTAAAs, and 77 (males n = 54, 78%) for DTAAAs. The patients in the post-dissection group were younger (62 \u00b1 14 years vs. 70 \u00b1 8 years; p &lt; 0.01). Aneurysms in the PDTAAA group more commonly involved the proximal descending aorta (Crawford type 1 and 2 TAAA: n = 12\/18, 67% vs. n = 14\/77, 18%; p &lt; 0.01). Aortic arch debranching procedures were performed at a higher rate in the PDTAAA group (8\/18, 44% vs. 8\/77, 10%; p &lt; 0.01). No mortality within 30 days occurred in the post-dissection group but it did occur in 2\/77 (3%) patients in the degenerative group (p = 0.68). Mean follow-up was 31 months (range: 3\u2013121 months). Freedom from reintervention was similar between the two groups (55% vs. 60%, non-significant). Overall survival was significantly higher in the PDTAAA group (90% vs. 60%; p = 0.021). Conclusions: F\/BEVAR is technically feasible for PDTAAAs. Technical success and reintervention rates do not differ between post-dissection and degenerative TAAAs; however, overall survival is higher in patients with post-dissection aneurysms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15176739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T05:45:13Z","timestamp":1788241513000},"page":"6739","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endovascular
