Quality of life of patients after surgical treatment of ascending aorta aneurysms

Quality of life (QL) of 65 patients with ascending aorta aneurysms before and after surgical treatment was studied with SF-36 questionnaire. This group of patients demonstrates initial lower indices of QL on all the scales of questionnaire. In long-term period after surgery these indices significantly improve and correlate with clinical and hemodynamical result of surgery.     

Classification and surgical treatment of dissecting aortic aneurysms

A classification of dissecting aortic aneurysms is presented. It allows one to determine more accurately any given pathology in any patient. It helps the surgeon select the most appropriate operative variant and to define tactics of treatment. For example, to discuss the necessity of repeated reconstruction. Our clinical cases have confirmed it.

A case of successful surgical treatment of DeBakey IIIb dissecting aortic aneurysm with the true lumen obstruction of the thoracic descending aorta

A case of successful surgical treatment of DeBakey IIIb dissecting aortic aneurysm with the true lumen obstruction of the thoracic descending aorta is presented. A 64-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of severe chest and back pain. Immediately antihypertension therapy was carried out. But, after 14 days, acute renal failure was occurred by the true lumen obstruction of the thoracic descending aorta. On the 78 days after hospitalization, the flow reversal thromboexclusion by ascending aorta-abdominal aorta bypass and permanent aortic clamping was done. The reasons why this procedure was selected are as follows: 1) widely extended dissection, 2) renal failure, 3) poor pulmonary function, 4) left hemiparesis due to apoplexy. The post-operative course was excellent, paraplegia did not occur and renal function improved very well. The post-operative CT revealed thrombi formation within the thoracic descending aorta.     

Esophageal fistula after endovascular treatment in a type B aortic dissection of the descending thoracic aorta

We report a type B aortic dissection treated with stenting of the descending thoracic aorta that subsequently developed an ischemic necrosis of the esophagus with a posterior mediastinum abscess. The surgical treatment consisted of an extra-anatomic bypass to revascularize the supra-aortic trunks and the distal abdominal aorta through a middle sternal laparotomy, the resection of the thoracic aorta, and the drainage of the mediastinal abscess. Despite this aggressive surgical approach and an initial favorable postoperative course, the patient suddenly died 3 weeks later, likely from a rupture of the aortic stump.     

慢性Stanford B型主动脉夹层动脉瘤的腔内治疗

<正>Stanford B型主动脉夹层的近端撕裂口位于降主动脉,夹层累及降主动脉,亦可同时累及降主动脉以远,但不累及升主动脉。现一般以2周为界划分急慢性夹层,起病时间在2周以内为急性期,超过2周为慢性期。广州中山大学附属第一医院2008年提出一个新的分期方法:起病时间在7天以内为急性期;8~30天为亚急性期;超过30天为慢性期[1]。随着血流的持续冲击,夹层的假腔可进行性增大,     

主动脉弓降部病变的外科综合治疗

目的探讨开胸体外循环直视手术、解剖外旁路联合动脉腔内修复(endovascular aneurysm repair,EVAR)杂交手术以及完全EVAR手术治疗主动脉弓降部病变的方法及疗效。方法 2006年10月-2011年9月,收治48例主动脉弓降部病变患者。男31例,女17例;年龄28～81岁,平均52.4岁。病程1～90 d,平均10.2 d。累及弓部分支的B型主动脉夹层30例,主动脉弓降部真性动脉瘤11例,主动脉弓降部假性动脉瘤3例,主动脉弓穿透性溃疡伴壁间血肿3例,主动脉食管瘘1例。15例行开胸体外循环直视手术,12例行解剖外旁路联合EVAR杂交手术,21例行完全EVAR手术。结果开胸体外循环直视手术患者中术后发生出血1例,昏迷1例,短暂精神症状3例,肺炎4例,急性肾功能不全2例,多器官功能衰竭2例;最终3例死亡。解剖外旁路联合EVAR杂交手术患者术后1例出现右顶枕叶大面积梗死伴肺炎、肾功能衰竭。完全EVAR术后无并发症发生。术后41例获随访,随访时间2～60个月,平均28.6个月。3例患者出现左锁骨下动脉窃血综合征表现,因症状轻微,未予特殊处理,均自行缓解。其余患者均恢复正常生活。结论对于主动脉弓降部病变,采用开胸体外循环直视手术创伤大、风险高,将逐步被EVAR替代,解剖外旁路联合EVAR杂交手术是治疗此病变的重要方法,完全EVAR手术是其发展方向。     

The prognosis and the surgical indications of DeBakey type III dissecting aortic aneurysm

In order to determine the indications of operation for dissecting aortic aneurysm of DeBakey type III, therapeutic results obtained from 60 cases (11 with type IIIa and 49 with type IIIb) treated at our department during the 19-year period until the end of 1984 were analyzed as well as their distant prognosis. Since 12 cases (20%), who visited our department during the acute phase, were all abated to the subacute phase by hypotensive treatment, and since only one of the 12 cases died from pneumonia 5 weeks after the onset, it was thought that the operation during the acute phase is in most cases not necessary. We applied operation when there was a large false lumen, a regional protrusion, rupture or impending rupture. Out of the 60 cases, 25 (42%; 7 with type IIIa and 18 with type IIIb) underwent operation, and 3 of them (12%), including one ruptured case during the chronic phase, died due to the operation. Among cases with type IIIa, a non-operated case died of a related cause (rupture) during distant period, but none of operated cases died. Among discharged cases with type IIIb, 4 of 16 operated cases (25%) died of related causes during distant periods. This mortality did not differ from that of non-operated cases; namely, 8 of 30 non-operated cases died (27%). A 5-year survival rate was also identical between the non-operated and operated cases with type IIIb; namely, about 50% in the 2 groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
