Abstract：

Objective Stanford type A acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical condition with high rates of morbidity and mortality that requires surgical repair, on an emergency basis. The extent of aortic arch repair that should be carried out during emergency surgery of this type is controversial. This study was conducted to report clinical experience on aortic arch repair and determine surgical indication, optimal operative procedures and strategy for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection. Methods 210 consecutive patients with acute Stanford A aortic dissection who underwent aortic arch replacement combined with implantation of stented elephant trunk into the descending aorta between August 2005 and August 2010. Surgical procedures included hemi-aortic arch replacement in 92 patients, subtotal aortic arch replacement in 50 patients and total aortic arch replacement in 68 patients. All operations were performed with the aid of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP). Enhanced computed tomography scanning was performed to evaluate the postoperative outcomes, particularly the fate of the false lumen remaining in the descending thoracic aorta by aortic arch replacement combined with implantation of stented elephant trunk during follow up. Results Average cardiopulmonary bypass time was (146 ±52) min. The average cross clamp time was(93 ±25)min and average selective cerebral perfusion and circulatory arrest time was(35 ±14)min. The overall in-hospital mortality was 4. 8% (10/210) and morbidity was 8. 6% ( 18/210). Postoperative complications included acute renal failure, stroke, mediastinitis and respiratory insufficiency. During the follow-up period [mean (27 ± 18) months, ranged 2 to 60 months], 1 patient underwent reoperation due to the descending thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm. There was no late death. Follow-up enhanced CT scanning showed about 74% false lumens obliterated at the level of the distal border of the stent graft post operation. Conclusion Open aortic arch replacement is an effective approach and provides acceptable outcomes for type A acute aortic dissection. Optimal treatment strategy is the key factor to success in emergency surgical intervention.

Abstract：

Objective Some major procedures for DeBakey type Ⅰ aortic dissection used to be performed with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, which had been associated with more complications than seen with standard extracorporeal circulation. We reviewed the cases who received the treatment for DeBakey type Ⅰ aortic dissection by hybrid procedure without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The procedure consisted of ascending aorta replacement, ascending aorta-aortic arch branch vascular bypass reconstruction and endovascular graft exclusion. Methods From January 2009 to June 2010, 39 patients [mean age (55 ±16) years] who had DeBakey Ⅰ aortic dissection underwent hybrid procedure without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The femoral artery and right axillary artery were cannulated for perfusion. The ascending aorta and/or aortic valves were replaced under conventional extracorporeal circulation with Bentall procedure or Wheat procedure. The aortic arch branch vessels were dissected and the proximal part was sealed. Then the ascending aorta-aortic arch branch vascular bypasses were constructed with 4-bifurcation vascular grafts, Y-shape bifurcated vascular grafts or artificial vessels. Finally the endovascular grafts were deployed via the femoral incisions monitored dynamically with DSA, or via the ascending aortic bifurcated vessels monitored with transesophageal echocardiography. Results The operation succeeded in all 39 patients. Eight patients underwent ascending aorta replacement without aortic valve replacement or prosthesis, 20 patients underwent Bentall procedure ( Carbrol procedure were used in 11 cases), and 11 underwent Wheat procedure. For ascending aorta-aortic branch vascular bypass reconstruction, sequential anastomoses were performed in 8, Y-shaped bifurcated grafts were used in 15, and 4-bifurcated grafts were employed in 16 patients. The endovascular stent grafts were deployed via the former femoral incisions in 36 patients and via ascending aortic bifurcated vessels in 3. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was (61 ±22) minutes, the aortic crossclamp time was (48 ±18) minutes, and the post-operative intubation time was (30 ±9) hours. The thoracic drainage from each patient was less than 300 ml in 24 hours. No complication, such as hemiplegia, paraplegia, severe infections, renal failure or coagulation disorder, was observed. The duration of hospitalization was (21 ±6) days. No hospital death occurred. Follow-up was performed 1 to 15 months [mean (8.4 ±7.2) months] postoperatively. All patients survived without any organ dysfunction at follow up. The CTA examination 3 months after operation revealed that the false lumens had been closed in 91.2% of the patients. Conclusion Our findings indicated that the hybrid procedure, which combining ascending aorta replacement,ascending aorta-aortic arch branch vascular bypass reconstruction and endovascular graft exclusion under conventional extracorporeal circulation, may be an option for avoiding the possible complications associated with profound hypothermic circulatory arrest. The novel hybrid operation may improve the surgical outcomes and provide a simplified surgical approach for the treatment of DeBakey Ⅰ aortic dissection.

Abstract：

Objective Study the early and midterm results of a technique-total aortic arch replacement without using extracorporeal circulation or aortic bypass for the treatment of aortic aneurismal disease involving the transverse aortic arch and proximal descending aorta. Methods Between April and November 2004, 7 consecutive patients with true (n = 3) or false (n =4) aortic aneurysm underwent this procedure. The mean follow-up was 6. 6 years. The median age at operation was 57years ( range 23 to 75 years). Normothermia general anesthesia and median sternotomy combined with left anterior thoracotomy were administered. A partially occluding clamp was placed on ascending aorta and a longitude aortic incision was made. Anastomosis of a branched graft to ascending aorta in an end-to-side fashion was commenced. The descending aorta distal to the aneurysm was occluded and transected, and anastomosed to the distal end of the branched graft in an end-to-end fashion. Finally,the arch vessels were divided and anastomosed to the branches of the graft and the aneurysm excised. Results The average cross-clamp time of descending aorta, left common carotid artery, and innominate artery was (13.6 ±5.6)min, (5.7 ±0.8)min, and (7.8±2.5) min respectively. The mean intubation time was (12.3 ±4.1) hours. There were no adverse outcomes or neurologic complications in this series. All patients survived and recovered completely. The mean follow-up time was (79.7 ±2.1) months. All patients lead a normal life. There was no late death. CT follow-up study 6 years after surgery reveals no abnormal image. Conclusion Total aortic arch replacement without cardiopulmonary and aortic bypass is a feasible and effective method for the aortic aneurismal disease involving the transverse aortic arch and proximal descending aorta in selected patients.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of reconstruction of the annulus and the intervalvular fibrous body during valve replacements. Methods Fifty-nine patients underwent reconstruction of the annulus or the intervalvular fibrous body during the valve replacement. Indications for the operation were small aortic annulus which may cause patient/prosthesis mismatch in 43, active infective endocarditis with the abscess in the periannulus tissue in 13, extensive calcification of the aortic annulus in 2 and an active bleeding complication of the aortic root after aortic and mitral valve replacement in 1. The reconstruction was done with fresh autologous pericardium. Results The aortic clamping time in reconstruction of the intervalvular fibrous body with double valve replacement was longer than that of the regular double valve replacement. Four patients died in the perioperative period, giving an overall in- hospital mortality of 6.7%. Postoperative complication were: re-sternotomy for bleeding in 2, Ⅲ degree A-V block in 2, respiratory dysfunction in 2, and acute renal failure in 2. Patients were followed up for 6 months by echocardiography study, and no periannular leakage was found. Conclusion Reconstruction of the annulus is an effective technique for patients with a small aortic annulus, extensive calcification of the interventricular fibrous body and active infective endocarditis with abscess. Although the operative procedure is challenging and taking more time, the technique is safe and reproducible.

Abstract：

Objective To sum up the experience of performing ascending aorta replacement combined triple-branched stent graft implantation for acute Standford type A aortic dissection. Methods From January 2010 to December 2010, 14 patients with acute Standford type A aortic dissection underwent the procedure of performing ascending aorta replacement combined triple-branched stent graft implantation.Right axiuary artery cannulation was used for cardiopulmonary bypass and selected cerebral perfusion.When the body temperature drops below 18 ℃, the ascending aorta was transected near the base of the innominate artery.From the incision, the triple-branched stent graft was implantated into the true lumen of the arch,descending aorta and the aorta bifurcation vessel. The transected stump of the ascending aorta was anastomosis to the proximal of the branched blood vessel prosthesis.Results Cardiopulmonary bypass time was (186 ±38) min,cross clamp time was (101 ±27) min,and average selective cerebral perfusion and lower body arrest time was ( 39 ± 11 ) min.The in-hospital mortality was zero.One patient of transient postoperative neurologic dysfunction, one of acute renal failure, one of transient limbs disturbance, one of secondary thoracotomy operation, one of gastrointestinal hemorrhage and one of postoperative chylothorax were observed.CT angiography rechecked showed the position of the vascular stent were satisfactory and the blood flow of arterial branches stents were lucid .The false lumen of the aortic arch and descending aorta closed with thrombus or shrinked.Conclusions The patients required aortic arch to be reconstructed which had no main tearing of intima in the arch may be best candidates for this technique.Open triple-branched stent graft placement combined ascending aorta replacement is an effective means for aortic arch reconstruction in acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.

Abstract：

Objective There is a paucity of data regarding hepatic dysfunction (HD) following type A and B aortic dissection repair with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). We determine the incidence and outcomes for postoperative HD, and analyze the risk factors of death for HD. Methods Between January 2006 and June 2008, 208 patients have undergone open repairs of aortic dissection with DHCA. Indications for surgical intervention were type A aortic dissection in 181 patients and type B in 27 patients. 18 patients had postoperative hepatic dysfunction with abnormal hepatic enzyme and bilirubin.The mean patient age was 43 years and one third were women. Perioperative data including age, sex, type, surgery intervention, CPB time, aortic-clamp time and ICU retention time were collected. Complications were classified as bleeding, low cardiac output, acute renal failure, hypoxemia, infection, temporary neurologic dysfunction, multiple organ dysfunction and death.Serum GPT, LDH and TBIL were assayed and recorded before and after operation, as well as 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d. Risk factors for death of hepatic dysfunction were ascertained by univariate and multivariable analysis. Results The incidence of hepatic dysfunction within one week following surgery is 8.7%. The mortality associated with HD was 39% compared with 1.6% (P＜0.0001) in patients without HD. ICU retention time were significantly different (P＜0.001) between HD grorp (11.9days) and non-HD group (4.2days). In this group, intraoperative and postoperative 24 hours blood transfusion volume (PRBC) ＞20 U occurred in 6 patients, reopen for bleeding in 3 patients, low cardiac output in 6 patients, sepsis in 1 patients, acute renal failure in 7 patients, hypoxemia in 5 patients, severe infection in 2 patients, temporary neurologic dysfunction in 5 patients, multiple organ dysfunction in 10 patients. Bleeding( P = 0. 024 ), low cardiac output (P = 0. 024 ), acute renal failure ( P = 0. 024), MOD ( P = 0.002) are the risk factors of death for hepatic dysfunction. And independent determinants were bleeding (P= 0.019) and MOD ( P = 0.001 ). Conclusion Multiple risk factors impact the onset of postoperative hepatic dysfunction. Bleeding and MOD after aortic dissection surgical repairs were associated with an increased mortality.     

Emergency percutaneous thoracic endovascular aortic repair for patients with traumatic thoracic aortic blunt injury: A single center experience

Purpose:To analyze the efficacy and outcome of percutaneous thoracic endovascular aortic repair(TEVAR)in patients with traumatic blunt aortic injury in our single-center.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2018,a total of 89 patients with traumatic blunt aortic injuries were treated with emergency TEVAR in our center.Their clinical data such as demographics,operative details and postprocedure outcomes were analyzed retrospectively in this study using SPSS 20 software.Continuous variables were expressed as mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range.Categorical variables are expressed as the numbers and percentages of patients.Results:The median age of the patients was 37 years,and 76(85.4%)were males.All the patients were involved in violent accidents and combined with associated injuries.Two patients died while awaiting the operations and 87 patients underwent emergency percutaneous TEVAR,with a 100%technique success.The mean time interval from admission to operating room was(90.1±18.7)min,and the mean procedure time was(54.6±11.9)min.Eighty(92.0%)patients were operated on under local anesthesia,while other 7(8.0%)patients were under general anesthesia.Two cases underwent open repair of the femoral arteries because of the pseudoaneurysm formation of the access vessels.A total of 98 aortic covered stent grafts were deployed,of which 11 patients used two stent grafts(all in dissection cases).The length of the stent was(177.5±24.6)mm.The horizontal diameter of aorta arch at the proximal left subclavian artery ostium was(24.9±2.4)mm,the proximal diameter of the covered stent was(30.5±2.6)mm,and the oversize rate of proximal site was(22.7±4.0)%.The proximal landing zone length was(14.1±5.5)mm.The left subclavian artery ostium was completely covered in 5 patients and partially covered in 32 patients.No blood flow reconstruction was performed.The overall aortic-related mortality was 2.25%(2/89).Among 87 patients,the median follow-up time was 24 months.Postoperative computed tomography angiography scans demonstrated no residual pseudoaneurysm,hematoma or endoleak.One patient complained of mild left upper limb weakness during follow-up due to left subclavian artery occlusion.Neither late death,nor neurological or other complications occurred.Conclusion:Emergency percutaneous endovascular repair is a less invasive and effective approach for the treatment of traumatic blunt aortic injuries.Long-term results remain to be further followed.     

A Safer Technique of Aortic Root Replacement After Aortic Valve Replacement

Aortic root replacement after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is often complicated by bleeding around the aortic root, which increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, making it a technically challenging procedure. We describe a new technique of aortic root replacement designed to minimize bleeding around the aortic root. This surgical technique focuses on safe dissection and exposure of the aortic root to avoid inadvertent entry into the right atrium or right ventricle; on modifying the proximal anastomosis of the graft to the aortic annulus; and on performing a coronary artery reimplantation that achieves complete hemostasis at the suture lines. We performed aortic root replacement after AVR in four patients over a 4-year period, without encountering any bleeding around the aortic root.     

Replacement of the aortic root by composite-graft valve: Bentall procedure and its modifications

Replacement of the aortic root by composite-graft valve is the most frequently used procedure for surgical treatment of dilation of aortic annulus, sinuses of Valsalva and tubular part of ascending aorta. Crucial part of the surgical procedure is the reestablishment of the coronary flow with one of the following methods: classic, Cabrol and so-called "button" technique. We have retrospectively evaluated 116 consecutive patients with aortic root replacement by composite-graft valve in a period from January 1996 to February 2002. We have applied several techniques for the restoration of coronary flow. Thirty-five patients (30%) underwent concomitant cardiac procedure, most frequently aorto-coronary bypass, whereas 7 patients had REDO operation. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was applied in 64 patients (55%) with acute dissection of the aorta or in cases of aortic arch resection. Classic Bentall procedure was performed in 4 patients, "button" technique in 97 patients and Cabrol (Cabrol II or modified) in 15. Total in-hospital mortality was 8.6% (10 patients). Perioperative complications occurred in 32 cases (27.5%), including early re-thoracotomy for excessive bleeding in 5 patients (4.3%). With the use of modern principles of aortic surgery, complex reconstructions of aortic root by composite-graft valve can be done with relatively low morbidity and mortality.

Technical Considerations Using a Composite Graft for Aortic Root Replacement

We performed modified aortic root replacement using a composite graft in seven patients over a 7-year-period. Six patients underwent emergency surgery for acute aortic dissection and one patient underwent elective surgery for an aortic aneurysm. To make the composite graft, we chose an artificial valve that was 1mm larger than the graft, and when performing the proximal anastomosis, we sutured only the graft edge using the horizontal mattress suture technique, applying an additional running suture for reinforcement. The button technique was routinely used for coronary reattachment. To assess hemostasis of the aortic proximal and coronary suture line, cardioplegia was injected via the left atrial vent, which enabled us to confirm hemostasis before performing the distal anastomosis. Blood loss and the need for blood transfusion were minimized by this modified technique. None of the six survivors has required reoperation during 7-year period. Our technique of aortic root replacement based on a composite graft with some operative modifications seems to be safe and reliable, resulting in a satisfactory outcome.     

Our experience with aortic root replacement using hand-sewn composite valve graft

Background The purpose of this study is to examine our experience with aortic root replacement using composite valve grafts in patients with proximal aortic disease. Methods and Results Since 1986, 16 patients underwent aortic root replacement using composite valve grafts for various indications which were Marfan's syndrome with annuloaortic ectasia (n=2), aortic regurgitation with ascending aortic aneurysm (n=3), aortic stenosis with regurgitation with poststenotic dilatation (n=9) and progressive aortic dilatation following AVR (n=2). There were 12 males and 4 females. The age range varied between 19 years and 52 years. The choice of conduit was a custom made valved graft using a monoleaflet tilting disc valve (Medtronic Hall valve=11, St Vincent's valve=3, TTK Chitra=1 and Bjork Shiley Valve=1) placed in a Dacron graft (Hemashield=13, Verisoft Cooley=3) prepared using a 4-0 polypropylene suture. The average time taken to construct a valved graft was 20 min±8 min. The coronary implantation was by isolated button technique. There was no size mismatch encountered in any patients. Postoperative bleeding necessitated a delayed sternal closure in 3 patients and re-exploration in another 2. The immediate operative mortality was 2, the cause being ventricular arrhythmia in one and cerebrovascular accident in other. Follow-up period ranged from 2 months to 16 years with a median follow-up of 12 months. One patient had an asymptomatic perigraft collection and no intervention was needed. There was no valve related complications in any of these patients. There was one late death of unknown cause. Conclusions Aortic root replacement using a custom made composite graft offers excellent long-term results, with negligible mortality rate and prosthesis related complications. Custom made grafts make this conduit easily affordable in our country and their performance is comparable to other available composite grafts.     

Outcomes of Liu’s aortic root repair and valve preservation in patients with type A dissection and aortic regurgitation

 Open in a separate windowOBJECTIVESTo evaluate short- and medium-term outcomes following Liu’s aortic root repair and valve preservation in patients with acute type A aortic dissection complicated by moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation (AR). METHODSFrom October 2011 to July 2018, a total of 324 consecutive patients underwent emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. There were 122 patients (38%) with moderate-to-severe AR, of whom 82 (67%) underwent Liu’s aortic root repair and valve preservation. Aortic computed tomography angiography and echocardiography were performed at discharge, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, and annually thereafter. We focused on assessing the survival and aortic root and valve durability in the 82 patients.RESULTSThe 30-day, 1-year, 3-year and 6-year survival estimates were 94%, 90%, 85% and 81%, respectively. At a median follow-up of 36.5 (interquartile range 24.9–50.9) months, all patients were free from reoperation. No residual false lumens in the aortic root, recurrent aortic root dissections or aortic root pseudoaneurysms were observed during the follow-up period. Only 1 patient (1%) presented with moderate AR at 6 months, which remained asymptomatic with no significant changes over a 3-year period. The remaining patients showed satisfactory valve function with an AR grade of mild (27%) or trace or none (72%). In the competing risk analysis, the incidence of recurrence of AR was 2% at 8 years.CONCLUSIONSLiu’s aortic root repair and valve preservation is a safe and effective operative strategy that achieves favourable short- and medium-term outcomes for acute type A aortic dissection with moderate-to-severe AR.
