Between February 2009 and February 2012, data from 384 consecutive patients, who underwent aortic surgery using total aortic arch replacement with stented elephant trunk implantation, were collected retrospectively. EuroSCORE II was applied to predict mortality and length of ICU stay. The C-statistic was used to test discrimination of the model. Calibration was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistic.
