Background . Complete resection of the intimal tear in aortic arch is one of the most complicated tasks in the treatment of aortic dissections. We introduced open stent grafting technique to complete this task with technical easiness. In this study we evaluated the long term efficacy of this procedure from our 12 years experience. Patients and Method. Form January 1994 to December 2004, 59 aortic dissections with intimal tear in aortic arch or proximal descending aorta were operated with open stent grafting technique (age 61.7yrs, 41 type A and 18 type B). Thirty three (55.9%) were in emergency status. All these cases were morphologically excluded from the indication of transluminal endovascular repair. Under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with antegrade cerebral perfusion, the hybrid prosthesis was inserted into descending aorta through the transected proximal aortic arch in order to achieve intimal tear exclusion. Results. Complete exclusion of the aortic arch intimal tear was achieved in all cases. Operative mortality within 30 days was 3.4%. Major postoperative complications included 4(6.8%) cerebral infarctions, 2 (3.4%) paraplegia, 2 (3.4%) transient paraparesis. Median follow up was 71.2 months (maximum 153 months). One patient (1.7%) showed type I endoleak from the distal end. In 6 patients (10.2%) additional endovascular repair for other thoracic lesions were performed, and only one case with Marfan syndrome required open surgical repair for thoracoabdominal aorta because of expansion of the remaining thoracic dissection. CT scan showed shrinkage of the false channel in 78.6% of the patients. There were no rupture of the remaining dissected aorta and the freedom from aortic related death was 94.7%, 94.7%, and 88.8% at 1,5, and 8 years respectively. Conclusion. This study suggested that open stent grafting is a safe and effective technique with good long-term results. This procedure could be an alternative and standard method to repair aortic dissections with aortic arch intimal tear.

Aims: We describe a new aortic arch dissection (AcD) classification, which we have called the Fuwai classification. We then compare the clinical characteristics and long-term prognoses of different classifications.Methods: All AcD patients who underwent surgical procedures at Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2015 were included in the study. AcD procedures are divided into three types: Fuwai type Cp, Ct, and Cd. Type Cp is defined as the innominate artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. Type Cd is defined as the left subclavian artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. All other AcD surgeries are defined as type Ct. The Chi-square test was adopted for the pairwise comparison among the three types. Kaplan-Meier was used for the analysis of long-term survival and survival free of reoperation.Results: In total, 1,063 AcD patients were enrolled from 2010 to 2015: 54 patients were type Cp, 832 were type Ct, and 177 were type Cd. The highest operation proportion of Cp, Ct and Cd were partial arch replacement, total arch replacement, and TEVAR. The surgical mortality in type Ct was higher compared to type Cd (Ct vs. Cd = 9.38 vs. 1.69%, p < 0.01) and type Cp (Ct vs. Cp = 9.38 vs. 1.85%, p = 0.06). There was no difference in surgical mortality of type Cp and Cd (p = 0.93). There were no significant differences in the long-term survival rates (p = 0.38) and free of aorta-related re-operations (p = 0.19).Conclusion: The Fuwai classification is used to distinguish different AcDs. Different AcDs have different surgical mortality and use different operation methods, but they have similar long-term results.

There is an assumption that an important role in the occlusive process of the great arteries of the leg and foot in obliterating endarteritis is played by the factor of extravasal compression associated with pathological degeneration of paravasal tissue.

  Background. Aortic arch hypoplasia is a congenital anomaly of the development of the aortic arch characterized by ground. Aortic arch hypoplasia is a congenital anomaly of the development of the aortic arch characterized by hemodynamically significant narrowing of one or more segments of the aortic arch. Aortic arch hypoplasia combined ynamically significant narrowing of one or more segments of the aortic arch. Aortic arch hypop with ventricular septal defect (VSD) characterizes a special category of children who are in serious condition and need ptal defect (VSD) characterizes a special category immediate surgery. Despite the improvement in the results of surgical treatment of this abnormality in recent years, the gery. Despite the imp issue of choosing treatment tactics remains debatable. g The aim. To analyze immediate and long-term results of one-stage aortic arch hypoplasia repair and VSD repair in infants. Materials and methods. From 2011 to 2019, 55 infants underwent simultaneous aortic arch hypoplasia repair in ypoplasia rep conjunction with VSD repair at the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the NAMS of Ukraine and junction with VSD repair at the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery Ukrainian Children’s Cardiac Center. There were 30 (55%) male patients and 25 (45%) female patients. The mean age of (55%) male patients and 25 (45%) female patients. The mean ag the patients was 1.3 ± 1.2 months (from 0.1 to 9.1 months), the average body weight was 3.9 ± 1.3 kg (from 2.4 to 8.7 patients was 1.3 ± 1.2 months (from 0.1 to 9.1 months), the average body weight was 3.9 ± 1.3 kg ( kg). The mean body surface area was 0.27 ± 0.1 m2. Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion was performed in 23 (42%) g). The mean body patients during the aortic arch reconstruction. g Results.The hospital mortality rate was 1.8% (n = 1). The average duration of artificial circulation was 108.5 ± 38.6 minpital mortality rate was 1.8% (n = 1). The averag utes (from 55 to 204 minutes), aortic clamping time was 56.9 ± 36.4 minutes (from 21 to 126 minutes), the time of selec(from 55 to 204 minutes), aortic clamping time was 56.9 ± 36.4 minutes (from 21 to 126 minutes) tive cerebral perfusion was 26.4 ± 11.5 minutes (14 to 49 minutes). In eight patients (14.5%) the sternum was spread perfusion was 26.4 ± 11.5 minutes (14 to 49 minutes). In eight patients (14.5%) the sternum was sp apart in the early postoperative period. Echocardiography before discharge revealed the average pressure gradient at the part in the early postoperative period. Echocardiograp site of plasticity of the aortic arch of 20.5 ± 14.9 mm Hg. plasticity of the aortic arch of 20.5 ± 14.9 mm Hg. The mean long-term follow-up was 2.6 ± 2.1 years (from two months to 8.1 years). There were no fatal cases in the reg-term follow-up was 2.6 ± 2.1 years (from two months to 8.1 years) mote period.

AbstractTo evaluate early and long-term results of surgical treatment of aortic coarctation (CoAo) in neonates. This is a retrospective clinical review of neonates with CoAo, who underwent surgery between 1995 and 2019. Data were retrieved from our institutional database, to identify preoperative and postoperative characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed by means of relative risk ratio and Cox and logistic multivariate analysis. 218 consecutive neonates (M/F: 129/89, median age 11 days, IQR 7–17 days) were included; 202 (92.7%) had a left thoracotomy; 178 underwent extended end-to-end anastomosis (EEEA, 81.6%). Hypoplastic aortic arch (HAA) was present in 102 patients (46.8%); complex cardiac anomalies in 85 (39%). Significant postoperative complications occurred in 20 (9.2%). Thirty-day mortality was 2.3% (most in complex types). At a median follow-up of 10.4 years (IQR 5.6–15.0 years; FU completeness 95.9%), there were 8 late deaths (3.7%), all associated to complex CoAo. Among 196 survivors, 177 (93.2%) were in NYHA class I; re-interventions on aortic arch occurred in 9.2% (2.0% were surgical). Freedom from mortality and re-intervention on aorta at 10 years were 94.3% and 96.7%, respectively. Surgical repair of CoAo in newborns without CPB in our series was safe and low-risk, with excellent early and late outcomes.
