Innominate artery (IA) injury is a rare entity with most patients dying before reaching the hospital. While open surgery remains the standard treatment, the endovascular approach is attractive as it may reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. We report a case of IA blunt injury extending to the subclavian artery with pseudoaneurysm formation successfully treated with covered stenting of IA and its bifurcation. A 49-year-old male was admitted after suffering multiple trauma due to a high energy impact motorcycle crash. In the emergency room, the patient was hypotensive with a Glasgow coma score of 15. On physical examination, he had right peri-orbital ecchymosis, left otorrhagia and an open patella fracture. The computed tomographic angiography (CTA) revealed enlargement of the mediastinum and a 29 mm pseudoaneurysm involving the right brachiocephalic trunk and its bifurcation. Under general anesthesia, a covered balloon-expandable stent (CBES) was then placed in the IA followed by kissing stent of its bifurcation with an additional 2 covered balloon-expandable stents. Final subtraction angiography demonstrated complete pseudoaneurysm exclusion and stent patency without additional complications. No neurologic deficits or other intervention-related complications were found in the postoperative period. At 10 months follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and with palpable distal pulses. Endovascular management of IA injury may provide a good alternative to open surgery with low perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Continuous Bleeding

Ascending aortic aneurysms involving the proximal aortic arch, arising anywhere from the aortic valve to the innominate artery, represent various problems in which open surgery is generally required. Surgical options include excision of the aortic pathology or wrapping the aneurysm shell with an aortic Dacron graft. Intervention using the latter method can lead to extravasation of blood along the suture lines resulting in continuous bleeding within the periprosthetic space. The Cabrol technique was developed as a method for decompression of postoperative leaks by the formation of a conduit system from the periprosthetic space to the right atrium. The coronary ostia are anastomosed to a second graft in an end-to-end fashion, which is then anastomosed to the ascending aortic conduit side to side. The native aorta is then sewn around the prosthesis, hereby creating a shunt to drain anastomotic leakage. This shunt reduces postsurgical risk of pseudoaneurysm formation and normally closes a few days following surgery. We discuss the case of a patient who underwent Cabrol’s variation and six months later was demonstrated to have a patent shunt.

Mortality for perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) surgery ranges from 2-22% with morbidity ranging from 15-45%. Traditionally, these had been repaired with vagotomy and antrectomy or pyloroplasty with smaller perforations repaired with an omentoplasty. Laparoscopic repair has become increasingly prevalent and demonstrated to have shorter length of stay (LOS) and fewer complications. We are evaluating the surgical repair of PPU with omentoplasty to determine trends of utilization and surgical outcomes. We conducted a 13-year (2005-2017) retrospective review, utilizing the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. A total of 6873 patients had open or laparoscopic repair of a PPU, with 2285 patients identified as utilizing omentoplasty. Five hundred eighty-eight omentoplasty patients were further identified as having a laparoscopic technique. We compared patient demographics, comorbidities, and perioperative morbidity and mortality for surgical patients between 2005-2011 and 2012-2017. We trended the perioperative outcomes across the study intervals. Parametric and nonparametric tests were used to evaluate outcomes. Between 2005 and between 2017, laparoscopic surgical repair with omentoplasty has increased from 3.8% to 34.6%. Overall mortality for open operations declined during this interval (12.7%-9.3%) while it remained unchanged for laparoscopic operations (4.6%-4.2%), there was not a significant difference between the laparoscopic and open 30-day mortality. Both open surgery and laparoscopic surgery are being used on an increasingly healthy cohort (increased functional status decreased predicted perioperative morbidity). Relative to the 2005-2011, the laparoscopic surgery 2012-2017 cohort had increases in both serious and overall morbidity, although this was not statistically significant. Compared to the 2005-2011, the 2012-2017 open surgery cohort had increasing serious morbidity (OR 2.03) and overall morbidity (OR 1.91). There was a trend of decreasing LOS and increased return to the operating room for patients with laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic Graham patch repair of peptic ulcers significantly increased, although open repair still constitutes the majority of the cases. Despite Graham patch repair being utilized on a healthier patient population, morbidity and mortality for laparoscopic repair have remained unchanged. Postoperative morbidity and mortality for open surgery have increased. This indicates that laparoscopic repair is more commonly utilized for low- or medium risk patients, leaving an increasingly sick patient population selected to open repair.

Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the aorta is uncommon, and usually develops in the descending thoracic aorta. Rarely this condition involves the branch vessels of the aorta. We report a case of ruptured aneurysm of the innominate artery resulting from penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. Open surgery was the treatment of choice for the ruptured aneurysm, while conservative treatment was recommended for the associated penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers of the descending aorta.

Abstract: Introduction: Most modern thoracic operations are performed with single-lung ventilation balancing between convenient surgical approach and adequate gas exchange. The technical limitations include difficult airways or insufficient parenchyma for the intraoperative single-lung ventilation. Earlier, cardiopulmonary bypass was the only solution, however, today the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is in the forefront. Aim: We retrospectively analysed our elective operations by use of venovenous ECMO to assess the indication, safety, perioperative morbidity and mortality. Patients and method: 12 patients were operated using venovenous (VV-) ECMO between 28 April 2014 and 30 April 2018 in the National Institute of Oncology. The main clinicopathological characteristics, data regarding the operation, the use of ECMO and survival were collected. Results: The mean age was 45 years, 2 patients had benign and 10 had malignant diseases. Extreme tracheal stricture was the indication for ECMO in 3 cases, while 4 patients had previous lung resection and lacked enough parenchyma for single-lung ventilation. 5 patients had both airway and parenchymal insufficiency. The average time of apnoea was 142 minutes without interruption in any of the cases. We did not experience any ECMO-related complication. We had no intraoperative death and 30-day mortality was 8.33%. Conclusion: In case of technical inoperability, when there is no airway or insufficient parenchyma for gas exchange, but pulmonary vascular bed is enough and there is no need for great-vessel resection, VV-ECMO can safely replace the complete gas exchange without further risk of bleeding. The use of VV-ECMO did not increase the perioperative morbidity and mortality. Previously inoperable patients can be operated with VV-ECMO. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(42): 1655–1662.

Airway Assessment

The key to success in patients with difficult airway is effective airway assessment and meticulous planning. Making use of simple and time-tested equipment and modifying these methods accordingly enable successful airway control avoiding perioperative morbidity and mortality . We report a case of 75 year old male with posterior urethral stricture planned for perineal urethroplasty with anticipated difficult airway. The airway was managed using video laryngoscopy and the procedure was uneventful with good postoperative recovery. This case report insists on making use of other conventional methods in the effective management of an anticipated difficult airway during a pandemic.
