Abstract

OBJECTIVES Providing effective treatment for complicated type B aortic dissection (AD) with concomitant pathologies of the aortic arch or ascending aorta is challenging, especially if the aortic anatomy is contraindicated for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). We present the early results of a multicentre study using the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for type B AD. METHODS From January 2005 to March 2013, data from 465 patients who had undergone treatment with the FET technique were collected in the database of the International E-vita Open Registry. From this cohort, 57 patients who had a primary indication for surgery for type B AD were included in the present study. Their mean age was 58 ± 12 years, and 72% had a chronic dissection. All operations were performed in circulatory arrest and bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion. Computed aortic imaging was performed for false lumen (FL) evaluation during the follow-up. RESULTS The in-hospital mortality rate was 14% (8/57). Stroke and spinal cord injury occurred in 6 (10%) and 2 patients (4%), respectively. The rate of immediate FL thrombosis at the level of the stent graft was 75% (40/53) and increased to 97% (41/42) during the follow-up period (23 ± 19 months). Distally, at the level of the abdominal aorta, the FL remained patent in 50% (21/42) of patients. The 1- and 3-year survival was 81 and 75%, respectively. CONCLUSION The FET technique is a feasible therapeutic option for complicated type B AD with involvement of the aortic arch if TEVAR is contraindicated. In contrast to conventional aortic surgery via a lateral thoracotomy, the FET procedure can provide simultaneous treatment of the ascending aorta and aortic arch. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

Objectives In this study, a propensity-matching analysis was used to compare biological versus mechanical composite valve graft implantation for early mortality and morbidities and for late complications including the need for aortic reintervention. Methods Between 1978 and 2011, 1112 consecutive patients underwent a complete aortic root replacement using either a biological Bentall (BB, n = 356) or a mechanical Bentall (MB, n = 756) valve conduit. Preoperative data were stratified according to the type of valve graft, and treatment bias was addressed by propensity score analysis. Results Two homogeneous groups of 138 patients were obtained. Hospital mortality between them was comparable (MB = 7.2% and BB = 5.8%, P = 0.6). They also had similar results after a mean follow-up time of 40 ± 38 months. Propensity-adjusted Cox-regression analysis showed no relationship between the type of prosthesis and all-cause mortality at follow-up (hazards ratio: 0.88; 95% confidence interval: 0.50-2.14; P = 0.4). Freedom from proximal aortic reintervention at 1, 5 and 7 years was 99.1 ± 0.9% in the MB group compared with 98.4 ± 1.1%, 93.0 ± 3.2% and 93.0 ± 3.2% in the BB group (long-rank P = 0.07). Conclusions The Bentall procedure is a safe and reproducible treatment for ascending aorta pathologies. The choice of either a mechanical or a biological valve graft seems to have no influence on early and late midterm adverse outcomes including need for aortic reinterventions.

Abstract

Background This study assessed the early and long-term results of arch operations performed after a prior aortic operation. Methods From 1994 to 2014, 154 consecutive patients (mean age, 59.7 years) underwent an aortic arch repair, after a previous aortic operation, at our institution. Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion was used in all cases. Chronic postdissection aortic aneurysm (87 [56.5%]) and degenerative aneurysm (43 [27.9%]) represented the most common indications for surgical intervention. A complete arch replacement was performed in 119 patients (77.3%), an associated root repair in 70 (45.5%), and the frozen elephant trunk technique was used in 55 (35.7%). Results Hospital mortality was 11.7% (n = 18). Postoperative permanent neurologic dysfunction occurred in 10 patients (6.4%). On multivariate analysis, cardiopulmonary bypass time (odds ratio, 1.02 per minute; p = 0.005) emerged as the only independent predictor of hospital death. Follow-up was 100% complete. The estimated survival at 1, 5, and 10 years was 79.6%, 69.9%, and 46.8%, respectively. Freedom from reoperation was 75.6% at 5 years and 54.6% at 10 years. Cox regression identified chronic postdissection aortic aneurysm (odds ratio, 4.2; p = 0.006) to be the only independent predictor of aortic reintervention. Late survival was comparable between degenerative aneurysm patients and the Italian population matched for age and sex (standardized mortality ratio, 1.9; p = 0.1). Longevity was reduced in patients operated on for chronic postdissection aortic aneurysm (standardized mortality ratio, 6.3; p Conclusions Arch operations after a previous open aortic repair can be performed with acceptable mortality and good long-term outcomes. Complete aortic resection did not increase hospital deaths and was associated with a low need for aortic reinterventions at follow-up.

Abstract

Objectives Aortic root replacement using a composite graft is the treatment of choice for a large variety of aortic root conditions with a diseased aortic valve. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the long-term results of this procedure. Methods Between 1978 and 2010, 1045 patients aged 58.7 ± 13.6 years underwent aortic root composite graft replacement using the following techniques: 95 Bentall operation; 926 the “button technique;” 24 the Cabrol technique. A mechanical composite valve graft was implanted in 69.6% of the patients. Six-hundred and thirty-five patients (62.3%) had annuloaortic ectasia and 162 (15.5%) had aortic dissection. Results Early mortality was 5.3% (55/1045). Independent risk factors for early mortality at logistic regression analysis were age ≥70 years (P = .051; odds ratio [OR], 2.97), New York Heart Association III-IV (P = .052; OR, 1.88), reoperation (P = .021; OR, 2.36), urgency/emergency (P = .003; OR, 3.09), mitral valve replacement (P = .001; OR, 6.01), or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (P
