The overall mortality, including Stage I, interstage interval, and Stage II was 18.6%. This substantial cumulative mortality for the open two-staged ET approach for the treatment of extensive TAA appears commensurate with the severity of the widespread aortic disease in this patient group. Fear of interstage rupture should not preclude the aggressive Two-Stage approach to the management of extensive TAA.
