Abstract Background Postoperative cerebral complications (PCC) are common and serious postoperative complications for patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for PCC in these patients and to provide a scientific basis for effective prevention of PCC. Methods In this retrospective case-control study, 125 patients with AAD who underwent thoracotomy in our department from October 2017 to October 2018 in the department of cardiovascular surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were divided into two groups: patients with PCC (n = 12), and patients without PCC (n = 113). The general clinical data, the types of corrective surgeries, the intraoperative situations, the postoperative complications, and the midterm outcomes of the patients were analyzed. Results The patients with PCC were significantly older than the patients without PCC (P = 0.016), and the incidence of the preoperative cerebral disease history in the patients with PCC was significantly higher than those of the PCC (−) group (P = 0.024). The Euro SCORE II of patients with PCC was dramatically higher than the patients without PCC (P = 0.005). There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (P = 0.010) and the length of moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA) combined with selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) (P = 0.000). The monitoring of rcSO2 indicated that there was significant difference between the two groups in terms of the bilateral baseline (P = 0.000). Patients with PCC were observed to have experienced significantly longer intubation times (P = 0.000), ICU stays (P = 0.001), and postoperative hospital stays (P = 0.009), and they also had dramatically higher rates of pulmonary infection (P = 0.000), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (P = 0.041) and tracheotomy (P = 0.022) after surgeries. The duration of MHCA+SCP (OR:9.009, P = 0.034) and the average baseline value of rcSO2 (OR:0.080, P = 0.009) were ultimately identified as significant risk factors. Conclusions PCC has a serious influence on the prognoses of patients following surgical treatment with AAD. The duration of MHCA+SCP and the average baseline value of rcSO2 were the independent risk factors for PCC.

Background: Mortality in acute Type A aortic dissection is still high and unpredictable. We aimed to investigate the validity of preoperative hematological markers and possible risk factors in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients operated with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest method. Methods: 78 consecutive patients who were admitted to the emergency service and operated on were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors for in-hospital death were investigated to develop a predictive model. Results: There was no difference between patients in terms of the were demographic data of the patients. In the mortality group, only preoperative creatinine levels were found to be higher (p < 0.05). Factors affecting mortality were found as total circulatory arrest (TCA) and cross-clamp (X-clamp) times when intraoperative data were examined (p < 0.05). ROC analysis was performed to determine the power to predict mortality and to determine the cut-off point. In ROC analysis to predict mortality, X-Clamp time > 71 minutes, 68.2% sensitivity and 66.1% specificity, TCA > 44.5 minutes, 72.7% sensitivity and 73.2% specificity were found. In the mortality group, these values were found to be significantly higher than those who were discharged. Conclusion: In the surgical treatment of Type A aortic dissection under deep hypothermia, hematologic biomarkers may be insufficient in estimating the risk for mortality.
