Survival and reoperation in acute aortic syndromes-a single-centre experience of 912 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Acute aortic syndromes are associated with poor outcomes, despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances. We analysed trends in volumes and outcomes from 2000 to 2021.

Methods

The study population includes 494 type A acute aortic syndromes (TAAAS) (54.2%) and 418 type B acute aortic syndromes (TBAAS) (45.8%). Primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, long-term survival and freedom from aortic reoperation.

Results

Regardless the type of acute aortic syndrome, patient volumes increased over time. Patients with TBAAS were older, more likely to have comorbid conditions and previous cardiac surgery (P < 0.001), while cerebrovascular accidents were more frequent in TAAAS (P < 0.05). Among TAAAS, 143 (28.9%) required total arch and 351 (71.1%) hemiarch replacement. TBAAS management was medical therapy in 182 (43.5%), endovascular in 198 (47.4%) and surgical in 38 (9.1%) cases. Overall in-hospital mortality was 14.6% [18.2% in TAAAS (95% confidence interval (CI) 14.4-21.2%) vs 10.7% in TBAAS (95% CI 7.8%-13.7%); P = 0.0027]. After propensity score adjustment, in-hospital mortality exhibited a significantly decreasing trend from 2000 to 2021 (P < 0.001) in TAAAS and TBAAS. 1-, 5- and 10-year survival was 74.2%, 62.2% and 45.5% in TAAAS and 75.4%, 60.7% and 41.0% in TBAAS (P = 0.975), with no differences among treatment strategies. The adjusted cumulative reoperation risk at 10 years was more than two-fold in TBAAS versus TAAAS (9.5% vs 20.5%, hazard ratio (HR) = 2.30, 95% I 1.31-4.04).

Conclusions

In the last decades, better patient triage and surgical/endovascular techniques led to substantial improvements in the management of acute aortic syndrome, with reduction in early mortality and reoperation rate. However, long-term mortality is still >50%.

Project description:IntroductionIn the last two decades, a more aggressive approach has been encouraged to treat patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), extending the repair to the aortic arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta with the frozen elephant trunk (FET) implantation. Here, we report our single-centre experience with the FET technique for the systematic treatment of emergency type A aortic dissection.Materials and methodsBetween December 2017 and January 2022, 69 consecutive patients were admitted with ATAAD; of those, 66 patients (62.9 ± 10.2 years of age, 81.8% men) underwent emergency hybrid aortic arch and FET repair with the multibranched Thoraflex hybrid graft and were enrolled in the study. Primary endpoints were 30 days- and in-hospital mortality. Secondary endpoints were postoperative morbidity and follow-up survival. To better clarify the impact of age on surgical outcomes, we have divided the study population into two groups: group A for patients <70 years of age (47 patients), and group B for patients ≥70 years (19 patients). Time-to-event analysis has been conducted using the Log-rank test and is displayed with Kaplan-Meier curves. A multiple Cox proportional Hazard model was developed to identify predictors of long-term survival with a stepwise backward/forward selection process.Results30-days- and in-hospital mortality were 10.6 and 13.6%, respectively. Stroke occurred in three (4.5%) patients. Two (3.0%) patients experienced spinal cord ischemia. We did not find any statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of main post-operative outcomes. The multivariable Cox proportional hazard model showed left ventricular ejection fraction (HR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.79-0.92, p < 0.01), peripheral vascular disease (HR: 15.8, 95% CI: 3.9-62.9, p < 0.01), coronary malperfusion (HR: 0.10, 95% CI: 0.01-0.77, p =0.03), lower limbs malperfusion (HR: 5.1, 95% CI: 1.10-23.4, p = 0.04), and cardiopulmonary bypass time (HR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1-1.04, p = 0.01) as independent predictors of long term mortality.ConclusionsFrozen elephant trunk repair to treat emergency type A aortic dissection appears to be associated with good early and mid-term clinical outcomes even in the elderly.

Project description:BackgroundEndovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is obviously less invasive than open aortic repair (OAR) for the treatment of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, it is not free of complications which can potentially result in severe morbidity or even mortality. The purpose of this study was to share our single-center experience with stent-graft related and systemic complications associated with EVAR.MethodsPatients with infra-renal AAA treated by elective and emergency EVAR between March 2014 and November 2020 were retrospectively identified. Demographic data, risk factors, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, systemic complications, stent-graft related complications, surgical site complications, 30-day mortality, late EVAR related mortality, estimated blood loss, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS and follow-up durations were collected and analyzed.ResultsA total of 43 patients underwent EVAR during the period of study. There were 42 males (97.7%) and 1 female (2.3%). The mean age was 68.8 ± 6.2 years. Elective EVAR was performed in 36 (83.7%) and emergency EVAR in 7 (16.3%). Technical success was achieved in 42 patients (100%) with no conversion to OAR. Stent-graft related complications were (21.0%) endoleaks, (2.3%) graft limb occlusion, (0%) graft infection, and (2.3%) rupture-EVAR. Systemic complications were (2.3%) myocardial infarction (MI), (2.3%) stroke, (2.3%) spinal cord injury (SCI), (2.3%) respiratory failure, (19.0%) wound complications, and (2.3%) acute lower limb ischemia (ALI). The 30-day mortality was (2.3%) due to perioperative MI and the late graft related mortality was (2.3%) due to rupture-EVAR.ConclusionEVAR showed a high technical success rate with no conversion to OAR. The most common complications were type II and type I endoleaks followed by graft limb occlusion. The 30-day mortality was 2.3% due to perioperative MI. Only one late stent-graft related mortality was registered due to rupture-EVAR.

Project description:ObjectiveThe initial operation for type A aortic dissection has limitations, and there may be a need for reoperation in cases such as giant pseudoaneurysm formation and reduced blood supply to the distal vessels. In this study, we collected case data of patients who underwent cardiac major vascular surgery at our hospital to analyze the effectiveness of reoperation treatment options for type A aortic dissection and to summarize our treatment experience.MethodBetween June 2018 and December 2022, 62 patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD) underwent reoperation after previous surgical treatment. Of these, 49 patients (45 males) underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) with a mean age of (49.69 ± 10.21) years (30-75 years), and 13 patients (11 males) underwent thoracoabdominal aortic replacement (TAAR) with a mean age of (41.00 ± 11.18) years (23-66 years). In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the recorded data of 62 patients. In addition, we summarized and analyzed their Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) results and perioperative complications.OutcomeIn the EVAR group, 47 patients (95.92%) were successfully implanted with overlapping stents, and 2 patients died in the perioperative period. Postoperative complications included cerebral infarction (4.08%), acute renal insufficiency (30.61%), pulmonary insufficiency and need for ventilator (6.12%), poor wound healing (2.04%), postoperative reoperation (16.33%), and lower limb ischemia (2.04%). In the TAAR group, 12 patients (92.31%) were successfully revascularized and 1 patient died in the perioperative period. Postoperative complications included cerebral infarction (7.69%), acute kidney injury (46.15%), pulmonary insufficiency and need for ventilator (15.38%), poor wound healing (30.77%) and postoperative reoperation (15.38%).ConclusionAccording to the results of the study, compared with TAAR, EVAR was less invasive, faster recovery, and offered a better choice for some high-risk and high-age patients with comorbid underlying diseases. However, the rate of revascularization was higher after EVAR than TAAR due to vascular lesions. Compared with the use of ascending aortic replacement + hemi-aortic arch replacement for acute type A aortic dissection in many countries and regions, the use of ascending aortic replacement + aortic arch replacement + elephant trunk stent is more traumatic in China, but facilitates reoperation. For young patients, the choice of treatment should be individualized combining vascular lesions and long-term quality of life.
