Contemporary use and outcome of Cabrol shunt in type A aortic dissection surgery: insight from China 5A study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cabrol shunt has been introduced for surgical repair of type A aortic dissection (TAAD) without robust evidence supporting its routine preventive use.

Methods

Adult patients with TAAD from China 5A study were included if surgically repaired between 2016 and 2022. Primary outcome was operative mortality according to Society of Thoracic Surgeons criterion. Overall, we compared clinical outcomes in patients with and without Cabrol shunt, and subgroup analysis were further examined between Cabrol shunt and outcome among patients with or without root replacement.

Results

3283 patients were finally identified for analysis, with median age of 51 (IQR 41-59) years, 2389 men, and 2201 treated with Cabrol shunt technique. Cabrol shunt-treated patients were more severe
