Preoperative and intraoperative risk factors of postoperative stroke in total aortic arch replacement and stent elephant trunk implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a disease with high mortality, for which total aortic arch replacement (TAAR) combined with stent elephant implantation (SETI) is a reliable surgical treatment; however, it is associated with a high incidence of postoperative stroke. This retrospective study aimed to find preoperative and postoperative risk factors for postoperative stroke in patients with TAAR combined with SETI, and to provide predictive models and single-factor threshold suggestions.

Methods

From October 2019 to March 2021, 229 AAAD patients who underwent TAAR and SETI were selected. Patients were divided into stroke group (n = 23) and non-stroke group (n = 206), and preoperative/intraoperative factors were evaluated by independent-samples
