Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationship between cooling status during aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest and postoperative neurologic dysfunction remains unknown. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of cooling status on transient neurologic dysfunction after total arch replacement. METHODS We studied patients who underwent elective total arch replacement with hypothermic circulatory arrest and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion from December 2011 to January 2021. Changes in tympanic temperature trends recorded during surgery were plotted. Several parameters, including the nadir temperature, cooling speed, and degree of cooling (cooling area, or the area under the curve of inverted temperature trends from cooling to rewarming as calculated by the integral method), were analyzed. The relationships between these variables and transient neurologic dysfunction were evaluated. RESULTS Transient neurologic dysfunction was observed in 33 (14.5%) of the 228 included patients. In the transient neurologic dysfunction group, the cooling area was larger (2417.3 vs. 1920.8 °C min; P < 0.001) and the cooling speed was higher (0.68 vs. 0.51 °C/min; P < 0.001) than in the non-transient neurologic dysfunction group. A multivariate logistic model revealed that both the cooling area (odds ratio = 1.13 per 100 °C min; P < 0.001) and cooling speed (odds ratio = 3.69 per °C/min; P = 0.041) were independent risk factors for transient neurologic dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Both the cooling area, which indicates the degree of cooling, and cooling speed had significant relationships with transient neurologic dysfunction after total arch replacement. Together, these findings indicate that overcooling and rapid cooling may contribute to brain injury.

Can J Cardiol 2024; 40:1326-1333. [PMID: 38218222 DOI: 10.1016/j.cjca.2024.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate benchmarking of outcomes after elective open total arch replacement is important for surgical decision making and for comparisons with emerging endovascular technologies. METHODS A multicentre registry of consecutive aortic arch procedures in 9 centres across Canada contained 250 elective total arch replacements from 2010 to 2021. A total of 728 patients undergoing elective hemiarch replacement over the same time period was used as a comparator group. Propensity score matching was used to construct 202 well matched pairs. RESULTS Patients undergoing total arch replacement were 63.2 ± 13.6 years old, and 34% were female. These patients were more likely to have connective tissue disorders compared with patients undergoing hemiarch replacement. When under hypothermic circulatory arrest, the total arch group uniformly used antegrade cerebral perfusion with median nadir temperature of 24°C (interquartile range [IQR] 21-25°C), and median duration 33 minutes (IQR 23-51 minutes). Before matching, in-hospital mortality and stroke rates were 5.2% and 10%, respectively, for the total arch group. After matching, the total arch group had in-hospital mortality similar to the hemiarch group (P = 0.58). Rates of stroke were also not statistically different (P = 0.11). The total arch group was more likely to experience delirium, prolonged intubation, increased intensive care unit length of stay, and transfusions. CONCLUSIONS Elective total arch replacement is performed with good in-hospital mortality rates that are similar to rates after elective hemiarch repairs. However, total arch replacement was associated with significantly higher rates of other morbidities, including delirium and prolonged intubation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical treatment strategy for aortic arch pathology with a shaggy aorta must be determined on a case-by-case basis because of the risk of catastrophic complications, such as brain infarction and spinal cord injury. CASE PRESENTATION This report describes the surgical case of two saccular aneurysms of the arch and abdominal aorta associated with a shaggy aorta in a 63-year-old man who underwent total arch replacement and secondary thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Considering the risk of embolization during endovascular therapy, graft replacement for the abdominal aortic aneurysm was initially performed. On postoperative day 28, total arch replacement with the conventional elephant trunk was performed using the functional brain isolation technique, which involves manipulating places far from the atherosclerotic burden, such as arterial inflow for cardiopulmonary bypass and unclamping of neck vessels. On postoperative day 7 after total arch replacement, thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed across the conventional elephant trunk in the nondiseased descending aorta. No postoperative complications, such as cerebrovascular failure, paraplegia, or embolization to abdominal viscera or lower extremities, occurred. The patient remained asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS The present case suggests that total arch replacement with the conventional elephant trunk and secondary thoracic endovascular aortic repair may be an effective alternative for aortic arch pathology with a shaggy aorta. The strategy for surgical treatment in patients with aortic arch pathologies with a shaggy aorta must be judged on a case-by-case basis, considering patient characteristics, comorbidities, and preoperative evaluation using transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography angiography, to eliminate potential determinants of intraoperative stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report outcomes of total arch replacement (TAR) with hypothermic circulatory arrest and bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (bACP) using an "arch first" approach for acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). The "arch first" approach involved revascularization of the aortic arch branch vessels with uninterrupted ACP, before lower body circulatory arrest, while the patient was cooling. METHODS This was an observational study of aortic surgeries from 2010 to 2021. All patients who underwent TAR with bACP for ATAAD were included. Short-term and long-term outcomes were reported utilizing descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier survival estimation. RESULTS A total of 215 patients were identified who underwent TAR + bACP for ATAAD. Age was 59.0 [49.0-67.0] years and 35.3% were female. 73 patients (34.0%) underwent a concomitant aortic root replacement, 188 (87.4%) had aortic cannulation, circulatory arrest time was 37.0 [26.0-52.0] minutes, and nadir temperature was 20.8 [19.4-22.5] degrees Celsius. 35 patients (16.3%) had operative mortality (STS definition), 17 (7.9%) had a new stroke, 79 (36.7%) had prolonged mechanical ventilation (>24 h), 35 (16.3%) had acute renal failure (by RIFLE criteria), and 128 (59.5%) had blood product transfusions. One-year survival was 77.1%, while 5-years survival was 67.1%. During follow-up, there were 23 (10.7%) reinterventions involving the descending thoracic aorta - either thoracic endovascular aortic repair or open thoracoabdominal aortic replacement. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with ATAAD, short-term postoperative outcomes after TAR + bACP using the "arch first" approach are acceptable. Moreover, this operative strategy may furnish long-term durability, with a reasonably low reintervention rate and satisfactory overall survival.

Zone 2 arch repair for acute type A dissection: Evolution from arch-first to proximal-first repair. JTCVS Tech 2023; 21:7-17. [PMID: 37854804 PMCID: PMC10580043 DOI: 10.1016/j.xjtc.2023.06.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective With growing experience of acute type A aortic dissection repair, Zone 2 arch repair has been advocated. The aim of this study is to compare the outcome between "proximal-first" and "arch-first" Zone 2 repair. Methods From January 2015 to March 2023, 45 patients underwent Zone 2 arch repair out of 208 acute type A aortic dissection repairs: arch-first, N = 19, and proximal-first technique, N = 26, since January 2021. Indications were aortic arch or descending tear, complex dissection in neck vessels, cerebral malperfusion, or aneurysm of the aortic arch. Results The lowest bladder temperature was higher in the proximal-first technique (24.9 °C vs 19.7 °C, P < .001). Cardiopulmonary bypass (230 vs 177.5 minutes, P < .001), myocardial ischemic (124 vs 91 minutes, P < .001), and lower-body circulatory arrest (87 vs 28 minutes, P < .001) times were shorter in the proximal-first technique. The arch-first group required more packed red blood cells (arch-first, 2 units vs proximal-first, 0 units, P = .048), platelets (arch-first, 4 units vs proximal-first, 2 units, P = .003), and cryoprecipitates (arch-first, 2 units vs proximal-first, 1 unit, P = .024). Operative mortality and major morbidities were higher in the arch-first group (57.9% vs 11.5%, P = .001). One-year survival was comparable (arch-first, 89.5% ± 7.0% vs proximal-first, 92.0% ± 5.5%, P = .739). Distal intervention was successfully performed in 5 patients (endovascular, N = 3, and open repair, N = 2). Conclusions Zone 2 arch repair using the proximal-first technique for acute type A aortic dissection repair yields shorter lower-body ischemic time with a warmer core temperature, resulting in shorter cardiopulmonary bypass time, less blood product use, and fewer morbidities when compared with the arch-first technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Total aortic arch replacement (TAR) after previous cardiovascular surgery is technically challenging and is becoming more frequent as outcomes for primary arch repair have improved. primary. We analyzed outcomes of reoperative compared with first-time TAR. METHODS The institutional aortic database was queried to identify consecutive patients undergoing TAR between 1997 and 2022. In total, 426 patients underwent TAR, of whom 150 (35%) had previous cardiovascular surgery (reop TAR) and 276 (65%) underwent their first cardiovascular operation. RESULTS The reop TAR group was younger (61 ± 13 vs 71 ± 11, P < .001) with more comorbidities such as ischemic heart disease (12% vs 4.3%, P = .006), previous stroke (36% vs 14.5%, P < .001), and renal impairment (24% vs 12.7%, P = .004). Reop TAR had longer cardiac ischemic times (119.3 ± 45.5 minutes vs 98 ± 31.9 minutes, P < .001), a greater operative mortality (3.3% vs 0.4%, P = .040), and incurred a 4-fold increased risk of major adverse event (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-11.49, P = .009). Ten-year survival was also lower in the reop TAR cohort (76% vs 82.2%; hazard ratio, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.12-2.86, P = .015) and there was greater need for late reinterventions, mainly on the downstream aorta (hazard ratio, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.03-1.62, P = .024). CONCLUSIONS Reop TAR is a technically challenging operation and is associated with increased operative mortality and adverse events. Gratifying results can be obtained with meticulous surgical planning and focused attention on end-organ protection. Late reinterventions occur in a significantly greater percentage of patients undergoing reop TAR, and future studies should focus attention on identifying those at-risk groups who may benefit from a more aggressive index procedure.

Abstract
Background: Hybrid thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) without median sternotomy is increasingly being performed in high-risk patients with aortic arch disease. The outcomes of hybrid TEVAR were reported to be worse with a more proximal landing zone. This study aims to clarify the effectiveness of zone 1-landing hybrid TEVAR by comparing the outcomes of zone 2-landing hybrid TEVAR. Methods: From April 2008 to October 2020, 213 patients (zone 1: zone 1-landing hybrid TEVAR, n = 82, 38.5%; zone 2: zone 2-landing hybrid TEVAR, n = 131, 61.5%) were enrolled (median age, 72 years; interquartile range [IQR], 65-78 years), with a median follow-up period of 6.0 years (IQR, 2.8-9.7 years). Results: The mean logistic EuroSCORE was 20.9 ± 14.8%: the logistic EuroSCORE of the zone 1 group (23.3 ± 16.1) was significantly higher than that of the zone 2 group (19.3 ± 12.4%, p = 0.045). The operative time and hospital stay of the zone 1 group were significantly longer than those of the zone 2 group. On the other hand, the in-hospital and late outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. There were no significant differences in cumulative survival (66.8% vs. 78.0% at 10 years, Log-rank p = 0.074), aorta-related death-free rates (97.6% vs. 99.2% at 10 years, Log-rank p = 0.312), and aortic event-free rates (81.4% vs. 87.9% at 10 years, Log-rank p = 0.257). Conclusions: Zone 1- and 2-landing hybrid TEVAR outcomes were satisfactory. Despite the high procedural difficulty and surgical risk, the outcomes of zone 1-landing hybrid TEVAR were equal to those of zone 2-landing hybrid TEVAR. If the surgical risk is high, zone 1-landing hybrid TEVAR should not be avoided.

Abstract
Objective: Total aortic arch replacement (TAR), particularly in individuals with extensive atherosclerotic alterations, especially shaggy aortas, is more crucial and difficult. The objective of this retrospective investigation was to ascertain if patients with shaggy aortas would respond to modified isolated cerebral perfusion (ICP). Materials and Methods: Between 2015 and 2020, nine individuals with shaggy aortas who received treatment for arch aneurysms were examined. Four and five patients, respectively, who had arch replacement with traditional selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) and modified ICP, were evaluated, and their short- and long-term results were compared. Results: There were no appreciable variations in the postoperative results between patients with traditional SCP and those with modified ICP. Following surgery, one patient developed paraparesis, while two individuals with traditional SCP experienced persistent neurological damage. In patients with modified ICP, there were no postoperative neurological or other problems associated to atherosclerosis; nevertheless, one patient experienced stroke 5 months after surgery. Conclusion: Patients with shaggy aorta may not receive enough brain protection from TAR with standard SCP because single axillary artery perfusion can result in nonphysiological flow and atheroma separation. Even in patients with shaggy aortas, TAR with modified ICP is safe, but late-phase severe adverse cerebrovascular events should be taken into account.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) to provide aortic surgeons with a bloodless operative field while simultaneously protecting the brain and peripheries from ischemic damage revolutionized cardiac and aortic surgery, and is currently used in specialist centers across the globe. However, it is associated with manifold adverse outcomes, including neurocognitive dysfunction and mortality. This review seeks to analyze the relationship between DHCA duration and clinical outcome, and evaluate the controversies and limitations surrounding its use. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a review of available literature with statistical analysis to evaluate the relationship between DHCA duration (<40 min and >40 min) and key clinical outcomes, including mortality, permanent and temporary neurological deficit, renal damage, admission length, and reintervention rate. The controversies surrounding DHCA use and future directions for care are also explored. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Statistical analysis revealed no significant association (P>0.05) between DHCA duration and clinical outcomes (early and late mortality rates, neurological deficit, admission length, and reintervention rate), both with and without adjunctive perfusion techniques. CONCLUSIONS Available literature suggests that the relationships between DHCA duration (with and without adjunctive perfusion) and clinical outcomes are unclear, and at present not statistically significant. Alternative surgical and endovascular techniques have been identified as promising novel approaches not requiring DHCA, as have the use of biomarkers to enable early diagnosis and intervention for aortic pathologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Open total arch replacement is one of the most challenging procedures in cardiothoracic surgery and is the gold standard treatment for aortic arch pathology. Total arch replacement is associated with high rates of mortality and neurological morbidity. Using 14 years of data, we studied postoperative, in-hospital mortality, major complications, and examined associated risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHOD Medical records of patients who underwent open, total arch replacement surgery at Siriraj Hospital from 2006 to December 2019 were reviewed. Demographic data, clinical factors, preoperative status, intraoperative data, and postoperative data were analyzed. RESULT A total of 330 patients were included and 36 (10.9%) died in the hospital. More than one concomitant operation (odds ratio (OR) 5.16, p < 0.001) and emergency operation (OR 3.45, p = 0.003) were risk factors for in-hospital mortality. Major postoperative morbidity occurred in 124 (37.7%) patients (124 of 329). Emergency operation (OR 2.88, p <0.001), preoperative creatinine clearance < 60 ml/ min/ 1.73 m2 (OR 2.04, p = 0.004), and aortic cross-clamp time > 180 min (OR 1.75, p = 0.022) were risk factors for major postsurgical complications. CONCLUSION In-hospital mortality after total arch replacement was 10.9% compared to international reports. Emergency operation was a major risk factor for both mortality and major complications. More than one concomitant operation, especially coronary artery bypass graft, more than doubled the risk of major complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of frailty on the clinical outcomes of hybrid aortic arch repair with debranching of the supra-aortic arteries. METHODS Consecutive patients ≥ 75 years old who underwent hybrid aortic arch repair from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Using the Canadian Study of Health and Aging (CSHA) scale, all patients with a CSHA scale score > 4 were defined as frail. The frail patients (FP) group and the non-frail patients (NFP) group were compared regarding the early and mid-term outcomes of hybrid aortic arch repair. RESULTS A total of 84 patients were included. The early postoperative results were not markedly different between the groups, except that the rate of transfer to a rehabilitation hospital was higher in the FP group than in the NFP group. The survival at 5 years was significantly lower in the FP group at 43.0% than in the NFP group at 67.7% (P = 0.015). However, the freedom from aorta-related death was not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Frailty did not affect the short-term outcomes of hybrid aortic arch repair; however, the mid-term outcomes, including the survival, of the frail patients were significantly worse than those of the non-frail patients, mostly because of non-aorta-related causes.

Abstract
Background To explore evolving surgical techniques and outcomes for aortic arch surgery. Methods A total of 2435 consecutive patients underwent aortic arch repair with hypothermic circulatory arrest between 2008 and 2018 in 12 institutions across Canada. Trends in patient characteristics, surgical techniques, and in-hospital outcomes, including major morbidity or mortality, were examined. Results From 2008 to 2018, the age of patients (62.3 ± 13.2 years) and the proportion of women (30.2%) undergoing arch surgery did not change significantly. Aortic diameters at operation decreased (2008: 58 ± 13 mm; 2018: 53 ± 11 mm; P < 0.01). Surgeons performed more valve-sparing root replacements (2008: 0%; 2018: 15%; P < 0.001) and fewer Bentall procedures (2008: 27%; 2018: 20%; P < 0.01). Total arch replacement rates were similar (P = 0.18); however, elephant trunk (2008: 9.5%; 2018: 19%; P < 0.001) and frozen elephant trunk (2008: 3.1%; 2018: 15%; P < 0.001) repair rates have increased. Over time, higher nadir temperatures (2008: 18 [17-21]°C; 2018: 25 [23-28]°C; P < 0.001), and more frequent antegrade cerebral perfusion (2008: 61%; 2018: 83%; P < 0.001) were used. For elective cases, in-hospital mortality rates declined (2008: 6.8%; 2018: 1.2%; P = < 0.01), as did major morbidity or mortality (2008: 24%; 2018: 13%; P < 0.001) and transfusion rates (2008: 61%; 2018: 41%; P < 0.001), but stroke rates remained constant (2008: 6.8%; 2018: 5.3%; P = 0.12). Outcomes remained the same over time for urgent or emergent cases. Conclusions Outcomes have improved over the past decade in Canada for elective aortic arch surgery, in the context of operating on smaller aortas, and more frequent use of moderate hypothermia and antegrade cerebral perfusion. Further research is needed to improve stroke rates and outcomes in the emergency setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effect of a preoperative age ≥80 years on postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent isolated elective total arch replacement using mild hypothermic lower body circulatory arrest with bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion. METHODS A total of 140 patients who had undergone isolated elective total arch replacement between January 2007 and December 2020 were enrolled in the present study. We compared postoperative outcomes between 30 octogenarian patients (≥80 years old; Octogenarian group) and 110 non-octogenarian patients (≤79 years old; Non-Octogenarian group). RESULTS Overall 30-day mortality and hospital mortality were 0% in both groups, and there was no significant difference in overall survival between the 2 groups (log-rank test, P = 0.108). Univariable Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that age as continuous variable was only the predictor of mid-term all-cause death (hazard ratio 1.08, 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.16; P = 0.037), but not in the Octogenarians subgroup (P = 0.119). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative age ≥80 years is not associated with worse outcomes postoperatively after isolated elective total arch replacement with mild hypothermic lower body circulatory arrest and bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We present single-institution results of types I and II hybrid procedures for aortic arch disease with 30-day and long-term results and review of the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of all patients that underwent zone 0 endografting and open bypass from ascending aorta to the arch vessels at our institution between January 2013 and 2020. The following data for the systematic review were extracted from eligible studies: 30-day/in-hospital mortality, stroke rate, spinal cord ischemia (SCI) rate, renal failure requiring dialysis, development of retrograde dissection, early (<30 days) types I and III endoleak, follow-up length, late (>30 days) endoleak, and late (>30 days) mortality. RESULTS Twelve patients underwent hybrid aortic arch treatment in our institution. The most common aortic arch pathology was degenerative aortic aneurysm. The rate of retrograde dissection and SCI was 8.33%. Regarding the literature data, a total of 768 patients undergoing types I and II hybrid aortic arch debranching procedure. The pooled rate of 30-day/in-hospital mortality was 10.96% (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.21-14.06), SCI pooled rate was 2.91% (95% CI, 1.76%-4.33%), and retrograde dissection pooled rate was 3.22% (95% CI, 1.99-4.72). CONCLUSION Hybrid arch techniques provide safe alternative to open repair with acceptable short- and midterm results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We performed a multicenter prospective comparative study to determine the impact of a Japanese frozen elephant trunk device on total arch replacement compared with conventional repair without it. METHODS Between 2016 and 2019, a total of 684 patients (frozen elephant trunk procedure; n = 369; conventional repair, n = 315) from 41 institutions were enrolled. The 2 procedures were selected according to each center's strategy. RESULTS The frozen elephant trunk procedure was applied more for aortic dissection, whereas the conventional repairs were predominantly performed for aneurysms. In the former, only hypothermic circulatory arrest time was reduced among the intraoperative parameters. Although there were no differences in the 30-day and in-hospital mortality rates (0.8% and 1.6%, respectively, for the frozen elephant trunk procedure vs 0.3% and 0.6%, respectively, for conventional repair), the neurologic complication rates were significantly higher in stroke (5.7% vs 2.2%; P = .022) and paraplegia (1.6% vs 0%; P = .023). In the propensity score matching analyses using 11 variables, statistical significance disappeared in the differences for mortality and neurologic morbidity (stroke and paraplegia/paraparesis) rates of 194 patients of each group, although they were still higher for the frozen elephant trunk procedure. CONCLUSIONS The early outcomes of total arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk procedure were acceptable despite its higher prevalence of emergency or redo surgery, which was comparable to that of the conventional repair. This procedure had higher rates of spinal cord injury than the conventional repair, which is a disadvantage of this approach.

Estimation Model for Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest Time to Predict Risk in Total Arch Replacement. Ann Thorac Surg 2021; 113:256-263. [PMID: 33545153 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020.12.060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We created an estimation model for hypothermic circulatory arrest time and analyzed the risk factors for major adverse outcomes in total arch replacement. METHODS This study involved 272 patients who underwent total arch replacement. The estimation model for hypothermic circulatory arrest time was established using multiple linear regression analysis, and the predicted hypothermic circulatory arrest time from this model was analyzed to detect risk factors. RESULTS Atrial fibrillation, rupture, malperfusion, saccular aneurysm, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and hypothermic circulatory arrest time were identified as independent risk factors associated with major adverse outcomes. The estimation model for hypothermic circulatory arrest time was established as follows: hypothermic circulatory arrest time = 99.3 - 0.19 × age + 0.65 × body mass index + 6.19 × previous cardiac operation + 11.7 × acute dissection + 8.9 × rupture + 0.19 × aortic angulation + 0.15 × length to the distal anastomosis site - 6.17 × total arch replacement surgeon case volume - 3.06 × surgery year. The predicted hypothermic circulatory arrest time calculated by this estimation model was evaluated using multivariate logistic analysis, which identified atrial fibrillation, rupture, malperfusion, saccular aneurysm, and predicted hypothermic circulatory arrest time as risk factors. CONCLUSIONS As with the actual hypothermic circulatory arrest time, the predicted hypothermic circulatory arrest time using our model detected significant factors associated with major adverse outcomes. These results indicated that this prediction model for hypothermic circulatory arrest time may be effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shaggy aorta (SA) depicts the severe aortic surface degeneration, extremely friable, and likely to cause spontaneous peripheral and visceral embolization or during catheterization, aortic manipulation, surgery, or minimally invasive procedures. This study aims to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information on this disease. METHODS Potentially eligible studies to be included were identified by searching the following databases: CENTRAL Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, MEDLINE, and CINAHL, using a combination of subject headings and text words to identify relevant studies: (Shaggy aorta) OR (aortic embolization) OR (aortic embolism) OR (aortic thrombus) OR (aortic plaque). From a total of 29,111 abstracts, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, we considered 60 studies for inclusion in this review. RESULTS Appropriate measurement and assessment of the aortic wall are pivotal in the modern era, in particular when percutaneous procedures are performed, as SA has been identified as an independent risk factor for spinal cord injury, mesenteric embolization, and cerebral infarction after endovascular aortic repair. Furthermore, SA increases the rate of cerebral complications during transcatheter aortic valve implantation. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, prompt diagnosis of SA syndrome and appropriate guidelines on the management of these conditions may help physicians to better assess the patient risk and to minimize the dreadful-related complications.

Abstract
This study examines postoperative morbidity and mortality and long-term survival after total arch replacement (TAR) using deep to moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP), and the Y-graft. Seventy-five patients underwent TAR with the Y graft. Deep to moderate HCA was initiated at 18-22°C. ACP was either initiated immediately (early ACP) or after the distal anastomosis was performed (late ACP). The arch vessels were then serially anastomosed to the individual limbs of the Y-graft. The median age was 66 years (range = 32-82). Etiology of aneurysmal dilatation included 20 (27%) patients with medial degenerations, 25 (33%) with chronic dissections, 14 (19%) with acute dissections, 9 (12%) with atherosclerosis and 2 (3%) with Marfan syndrome. In-hospital mortality was 5%. Neurologic complications occurred in 8 (11%) patients; 2 (3%) had strokes and 6 (8%) had transient neurologic deficits. Patients undergoing TAR with moderate hypothermia had a significantly higher incidence of new-onset renal insufficiency (3 [23%] vs [0%], P < 0.001) and TND (3 (23%) vs 3 (5%), P = 0.028) than the profound and deep hypothermia cohort. Excluding the 1 patient who died intraoperatively, 89% (95%CI: 79-94%) were alive at 1 year, 78% at 5 years (95%CI: 66-86%), and 73% at 10 years (95%CI: 59-82%). The combination of deep to moderate HCA, ACP, and the Y-graft is a safe and reproducible technique. Further inquiry is needed to assess if early ACP provides superior clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose: To report a technique of global cerebral embolic protection (CEP) designed for use during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Technique: Arterial cannulas are inserted percutaneously in the right axillary artery (12-F) and left common carotid artery (LCCA; 10-F) to provide normothermic antegrade cerebral perfusion during TEVAR with neuromonitoring. Inferior vena cava blood is drawn using a 19-F femoral cannula, filtered, oxygenated, and delivered through independent roller pumps to the arterial cannulas. Static CEP is obtained by balloon occlusion of the 3 aortic arch branches proximally, resulting in complete separation of aortic and cerebral blood flow; static CEP is used during aortic endograft delivery and deployment. Dynamic CEP, obtained by creating flow reversal in the innominate artery and proximal LCCA, is used at all other times. Successful use of this CEP technique is illustrated in a patient with shaggy aorta undergoing fenestrated total arch TEVAR. Conclusion: Percutaneous normothermic bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion provides effective CEP during TEVAR.

Debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair for distal aortic arch aneurysm in elderly patients aged over 75 years old. J Cardiothorac Surg 2020; 15:13. [PMID: 31924243 PMCID: PMC6954511 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-020-1047-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We examined the outcome of debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair (d-TEVAR) without sternotomy for distal aortic arch aneurysm in patients aged ≥75 years. Methods Patients who underwent d-TEVAR or TAR for aortic arch aneurysm between 2008 and 2015 at our hospital and aged ≥75 years were included. Age, sex, left ventricular ejection fraction, preoperative creatinine level, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were matched using PS. Results Among 74 patients (d-TEVAR: 51, TAR: 23), 17 patients in each group were matched. No difference in surgical outcome was detected between the d-TEVAR and TAR groups, including 30-day death (0% vs. 0%), hospital death (5.8% vs. 0%: p = 0.31) and incidence of cerebral infarction (5.8% vs. 7.6%: p = 0.27) as well as the long-term outcomes of 5-year survival (92.8% vs. 74.8%: p = 0.30) and 5-year aorta-related event-free rate (88.2% vs. 100%: p = 0.15). Average duration of ICU stay (1.3 ± 1.1 days vs. 5.6 ± 1.3 days: p = 0.025) and hospital stay (16.5 ± 5.2 days vs. 37.7 ± 19.6 days: p = 0.017) were significantly shorter in the d-TEVAR group. Conclusion Our results indicated that d-TEVAR is less invasive without affecting long-term outcome up to 5 years. Although the number of the patients included in the study was small, debranching TEVAR could be one of the treatments of the choice in the elderly, especially with comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ministernotomy has been advocated over recent years as an alternative technique for different cardiovascular surgical procedures to reduce the surgical trauma associated with conventional full sternotomy. In recent years, several reports have addressed minimally invasive approaches to the proximal aorta and aortic arch through a partial upper sternotomy (PUS). We reviewed our experience of minimally invasive open aortic arch reconstruction with a branched graft through a PUS. METHODS Between February 2016 and December 2018, 22 patients underwent open arch repair through a PUS. Moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion were used for organ protection. The median patient age was 76 years (range, 65-86). Renal insufficiency was observed in 14 patients (64%) and chronic lung disease, in 11 (50%). Total arch replacement was performed in 20 patients (91%), while the remaining 2 (9%) received partial arch replacement with reconstruction of two supraaortic vessels. Aortic valve replacement with a tissue valve or aortic valve repair was each performed concomitantly in one patient (5%) as a concomitant procedure. The median durations of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross-clamping, and circulatory arrest were 214, 109, and 50 min, respectively. RESULTS No early deaths, permanent neurological deficits, or spinal cord injuries occurred. One patient (5%) required intraoperative conversion to full sternotomy because of bleeding caused by a venting cannula injury. Three patients (14%) required re-exploration because of bleeding. Prolonged ventilation occurred in 2 patients (9%) with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. CONCLUSIONS Minimally invasive aortic arch reconstruction with branched grafts through a PUS can be safely performed with satisfactory perioperative outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Intraoperative predonated autologous blood transfusion is thought to replenish platelets and coagulation factors and ameliorate coagulopathy. This study aimed to evaluate whether intraoperative predonated autotransfusion improves coagulopathy during thoracic aortic surgery. Methods: Patients who underwent thoracic aortic surgery were randomized into two groups as follows: those who received intraoperative predonated blood (group A: n = 31) and those who did not receive (group N: n = 22). In group A, autologous blood was retransfused immediately after cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass (c-CPB). Results: The mean intraoperative allogenic blood or blood product transfusion requirements were significantly lesser in group A than in group N (packed red blood cells [RBCs]: 6.3 ± 5.1 vs. 9.1 ± 4.3 units, p = 0.04; fresh frozen plasma [FFP]: 3.0 ± 4.1 vs. 6.1 ± 5.7 units, p = 0.03). After c-CPB, hemoglobin (Hb) level, platelet count, and coagulopathy became significantly worse than those at the start of surgery in both the groups. However, the values significantly improved 30 min after c-CPB only in group A. Renal function was significantly worse in group N. Conclusions: Intraoperative predonated autotransfusion significantly improved coagulopathy, with reduced allogeneic blood transfusion volume during thoracic aortic surgery. Furthermore, reduction of allogeneic blood transfusion may reduce the adverse effects on renal function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the prognostic factors for permanent neurological dysfunction (PND) after total aortic arch replacement with regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2 ) monitoring. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 98 type A aortic dissection aneurysm patients who underwent emergency total aortic arch replacement combined with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and right axillary artery selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP). Data such as age, gender, body mass index, preoperative coexisting disease, laboratory test results, intraoperative critical operation duration, and intraoperative rSO2 were collected, and the neurological prognoses in the hospital were recorded and grouped by severity. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed on the statistically significant differences between the groups to screen the predictors of postoperative neurological complications in these patients. RESULTS Forty-two patients had postoperative neurological complications, among which there were 29 cases (29.6%) of transient neurological dysfunction, and 13 cases (13.3%) of PND. Multiple logistic regression results showed that advanced age, preoperative low platelet count, prolonged hemostasis time and lowest relative rSO2 to baseline (ΔrSO2 min) in each time period were risk factors for postoperative PND. The ROC curve measurement showed that the optimal cut-off value of ΔrSO2 min was 79.7%, and the area under the curve was 0.708 (95% confidence interval = 0.557-0.858), p = 0.016; the optimal cut-off value of ΔrSO2 min in SACP was 81.6%, and the area under the curve was 0.720 (95% confidence interval = 0.570-0.870), p = 0.011; the optimal cut-off value of ΔrSO2 min in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was 80.8%, and the area under the curve was 0.697 (95% confidence interval = 0.554-0.840), p = 0.023. CONCLUSION Intraoperative ΔrSO2 min that is lower than the basal level of about 80%, advanced age, preoperative low platelet count, and prolonged hemostasis time are predictors of PND after total aortic arch replacement.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of homemade fenestrated stent-grafts for complete endovascular aortic repair of aortic arch dissections. Materials and Methods: From July 2014 through September 2018, 35 patients (mean age 66±11 years; 25 men) underwent homemade fenestrated stent-graft repair of acute (n=16) or chronic (n=10) complicated type B aortic dissections (n=16) and dissecting aortic arch aneurysms subsequent to surgical treatment of acute type A dissections (n=9). Nineteen (54%) procedures were emergent. Results: Zone 2 single-fenestrated stent-grafts were used in 25 cases; the remaining 10 were double-fenestrated stent-grafts deployed in zone 0. Median time for stent-graft modification was 18 minutes (range 16–20). Technical success was achieved in all cases. An immediate distal type I endoleak was treated intraoperatively. Among the double-fenestrated stent-graft cases, the left subclavian artery fenestration could not be cannulated in 2 patients and revascularization was required. Partial coverage of the left common carotid artery necessitated placement of a covered stent in 3 cases. One (3%) patient had a stroke without permanent sequelae. Two type II endoleaks required additional covered stent placement at 5 and 7 days postoperatively, respectively. The 30-day mortality was 6% (2 patients with ruptured aortic arch aneurysm). During a mean follow-up of 17.6±13 months, there was no aortic rupture or retrograde dissection. One late type I endoleak was treated with additional proximal fenestrated stent-graft placement. One type II endoleak is currently under observation. One additional patient died (unrelated to the aorta); overall mortality was 9%. All supra-aortic trunks were patent. Conclusion: The use of homemade fenestrated stent-grafts for endovascular repair of aortic arch dissections is feasible and effective for total endovascular aortic arch repair. Durability concerns will need to be assessed in additional studies with long-term follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES While reports which focus on the outcomes of conservative treatments for acute type A aortic dissection in patients over the age of 80 are worth considering, recently many studies have reported improved outcomes of surgical treatment. Accordingly, we analyzed the outcomes of surgical and conservative treatments for acute type A aortic dissection with patent false lumen in patients over the age of 80. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 70 patients over 80 years in age out of 248 consecutive patients with acute type A aortic dissection between January, 2010, and May, 2015. Of the 70 patients, 44 underwent surgical treatments (ascending replacement in 33 and total arch replacement in 11) and 23 patients underwent conservative medical treatments. RESULTS In the surgical treatment, the 30-day mortality rate was 14% (6/44) and the rate of morbidity was 34%. And 17 patients (39%) were discharged home without ambulatory assistance. The actuarial survival rates in the surgical treatment group were 83% and 60% at 1 and 3 years, respectively. The in-hospital death rate of conservative medical treatment was 43% (10/23). Only 26% of the patients having had conservative treatment were discharged home without ambulatory assistance. The actuarial survival rate in the conservative medical group was 8.7% at 1 year. CONCLUSION Surgical outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection with patent false lumen were satisfactory in patients aged over 80 in this study by meticulously determining operative indications, depending on the background of each patient.

Abstract
Surgery for aortic arch involvement in lung cancer cases is challenging, and generally requires extracorporeal circulation with circulatory arrest or a cerebral protection technique. To reduce morbidity, we developed a novel surgical technique for total aortic arch replacement for lung cancer with aortic arch involvement that features total rerouting of supra-arch vessels under a beating heart condition. A 56-year-old man was diagnosed with lung cancer, and aortic arch invasion was suspected. After concurrent chemoradiotherapy, a left upper lobectomy with total arch replacement was performed using our new technique. Thirty-six months after the operation, there was no recurrence.

Abstract
Endovascular aortic repair to treat aortic arch abnormality has rapidly expanded in the last 2 decades, and surgeons now have options to treat patients who are poor candidates for open surgery. The devices and techniques should be tailored to the extension of the aortic abnormality and anatomy of the individual. Recent studies demonstrate promising results with branched endografts, but one of the major drawbacks of the devices is that considerable time is required to prepare the custom-made graft, which may not be available for emergent or urgent cases. Introduction of commercially available devices is forthcoming.

Abstract
Although antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) is the predominant method of protecting the brain in patients undergoing total arch replacement, both deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and ACP provide excellent and comparable clinical outcomes with regard to mortality, stroke, and temporary neurological deficit rates.

Abstract
Open total aortic arch replacement is one of the most technically demanding operations in cardiothoracic surgery, requiring operator expertise and intraoperative and postoperative teamwork. Despite current advancements in the field of open aortic surgery with regard to intraoperative brain protection and postoperative care, the morbidity and mortality associated with open total arch operations varies. Endovascular and hybrid procedures involving the use of zone 0 as a landing zone allow fair comparison between open total arch and hybrid operations. Hybrid procedures involving all of the other landing zones [1-4] should not be compared with open total arch replacement, as the extent of the pathology is different.

Abstract
Conventional arch replacement can be carried out in a great majority of patients. Hybrid procedures are often as invasive and technically difficult as conventional ones. Moreover, their immediate results are, in many reported experiences, not better and their long-term results less favourable than the ones observed with conventional methods. So, yes, the open conventional arch replacement is still "the gold standard".

Abstract
Hypothermic circulatory arrest is a critical component of aortic arch procedures, without which these operations could not be safely performed. Despite the use of hypothermia as a protective adjunct for organ preservation, aortic arch surgery remains complex and is associated with numerous complications despite years of surgical advancement. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest affords the surgeon a safe period of time to perform the arch reconstruction, but this interruption of perfusion comes at a high clinical cost: stroke, paraplegia, and organ dysfunction are all potential-associated complications. Retrograde cerebral perfusion was subsequently developed as a technique to improve upon the rates of neurologic dysfunction, but was done with only modest success. Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion, on the other hand, has consistently been shown to be an effective form of cerebral protection over deep hypothermia alone, even during extended periods of circulatory arrest. A primary disadvantage of using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest is the prolonged bypass times required for cooling and rewarming which adds significantly to the morbidity associated with these procedures, especially coagulopathic bleeding and organ dysfunction. In an effort to mitigate this problem, the degree of hypothermia at the time of the initial circulatory arrest has more recently been reduced in multiple centers across the globe. This technique of moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest in combination with adjunctive brain perfusion techniques has been shown to be safe when performing aortic arch operations. In this review, we will discuss the evolution of these protection strategies as well as their relative strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Total arch transposition (TAT) during hybrid endovascular repair for aortic arch disease is believed to allow a better landing zone, but also to be associated with higher peri-operative mortality than partial arch transposition (PAT). Information on this issue is limited. METHOD This study was a retrospective analysis. All 53 consecutive patients with aortic arch disease (41 males, mean age 65.0 years) who underwent hybrid endovascular repair with TAT (zone 0, n=20) or PAT (zone 1 or 2, n=33) from 2008 to 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The peri-operative and late outcomes of these two groups were compared. RESULTS Baseline characteristics, including EuroSCORE II results, were similar in the two groups. After procedures, peri-operative mortalities and stroke rates were similar in the two groups (5.0% vs. 9.1%, p=1.000, and 10.0% vs. 6.1%, p=.627). Interestingly, all four strokes occurred in patients with a type III aortic arch irrespective of transposition type. Primary success rates (80.0% vs. 69.7%, p=.527) and type I endoleak incidences (20.0% vs. 27.3%, p=.744) were not significantly different. During follow up (mean duration 36.9 months), overall survival (89.7% vs. 87.4% at 1 year and 89.7% vs. 79.3% at 3 years; p=.375) and re-intervention free survival rates (78.6% vs. 92.0% at 1 year; 72.0% vs. 62.2% at 3 years, p=.872) were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION Morbidity and mortality were high within the first year of hybrid endovascular therapy for aortic arch disease, implying that candidates for hybrid procedures need to be selected carefully. Hybrid endovascular repair with TAT was found to have peri-operative mortality, stroke, and long-term survival rates comparable with PAT, so hybrid endovascular repair may be considered, irrespective of type of arch reconstruction, when clinically indicated.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to identify the potential risk factors of cerebral infarction associated with thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR). TEVAR was developed as a less invasive surgical alternative to conventional open repair for thoracic aortic aneurysm treatment. However, outcomes following TEVAR of aortic and distal arch aneurysms remain suboptimal. Cerebral infarction is a major concern during the perioperative period. We included 439 patients who underwent TEVAR of aortic aneurysms at a high-volume teaching hospital between July 2006 and June 2013. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify perioperative cerebral infarction risk factors. Four patients (0.9%) died within 30 days of TEVAR; 17 (3.9%) developed cerebral infarction. In univariate analysis, history of ischemic heart disease and cerebral infarction and concomitant cerebrovascular disease were significantly associated with cerebral infarction. "Shaggy aorta" presence, left subclavian artery coverage, carotid artery debranching, and pull-through wire use were identified as independent risk factors of cerebral infarction. In multivariate analysis, history of ischemic heart disease (odds ratio [OR] 6.49, P = 0.046) and cerebral infarction (OR 43.74, P = 0.031), "shaggy aorta" (OR 30.32, P < 0.001), pull-through wire use during surgery (OR 7.196, P = 0.014), and intraoperative blood loss ≥800 mL (OR 24.31, P = 0.017) were found to be independent risk factors of cerebral infarction. This study identified patient- and procedure-related risk factors of cerebral infarction following TEVAR. These results indicate that patient outcomes could be improved through the identification and management of procedure-related risk factors.
