Abstract Objective: Aortic arch replacement in acute type A aortic dissection patients remains the most challenging cardiovascular operation. Herein, we described our modified Y-graft technique using the Femoral Artery Bypass (FAB) and the One Minute Systemic Circulatory Arrest (OSCA) technique, and assessed the short-term outcomes of the patients.Methods: Between February 2015 and November 2017, 51 patients with acute type A aortic dissection underwent aortic arch replacement. Among them, 23 patients underwent FAB while 28 patients underwent both FAB and OSCA. The intraoperative data and postoperative follow-up data were recorded. The follow-up data of patients with traditional Y-graft technique were collected from previously reported studies.Results: In the FAB group, two patients died due to pulmonary infection (30-day survival rate, 91.3%), and two patients were paralyzed from the waist down. Hemodialysis was performed for five patients (21.7%) before hospital discharge. Fifteen patients (65.2%) received respiratory support for more than 2-days and eight patients (34.8%) for more than 5-days. These follow-up results were comparable or better than the patients with traditional Y-graft technique. Furthermore, compared to the FAB group, the morbidity due to neurological dysfunction and acute renal failure was significantly reduced in the FAB+OSCA group. Moreover, the respiratory support, length of postoperative stay and ICU stay were shortened.Conclusions: This study clarified the feasibility of FAB and OSCA technique in modifying Y-graft technique. The acute type A aortic dissection patients showed less surgical complications and favorable short-term outcomes after this surgery.

Abstract Objective: Aortic arch replacement in acute type A aortic dissection patients remains a most challenging cardiovascular operation. This article aims to show our Modified Y-Graft Technique using the Femoral Artery Bypass (FAB) and the One Minute Systemic Circulatory Arrest (OSCA) Technique and assess the short-term outcomes of the patients.Methods: Between February 2015 and November 2017, 51 patients with acute type A aortic dissection underwent aortic arch replacement. Among them, 23 patients’ procedure used FAB and 28 patients utilized both FAB and OSCA. The intraoperative data and postoperative follow-up data were recorded. The follow-up data of patients with traditional Y-graft technique were collected from previous reported studies.Results: In FAB group, two patients died for pulmonary infection (30-day survival rate 91.3%), and two patients paralyzed from the waist down. The hemodialysis was performed for five patients (21.7%) before hospital discharge. Fifteen patients (65.2%) received more than 2-day’s respiratory support and 8 patients (34.8%) received more than 5-day’s respiratory support. These follow-up data are basically flat or precede to the patients with traditional Y-graft technique. Furthermore, compared to the FAB Group, the morbidity of the neurologic dysfunction and the acute renal failure was significantly reduced in FAB+OSCA Group. Besides, the respiratory support, the length of the postoperative stay and the ICU stay were shortened.Conclusions: This study clarified the feasibility of FAB and OSCA technique in modifying Y-graft technique. The acute type A aortic dissection patients tend to have less surgical complications and favorable short-term outcomes by this surgery.

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.

A 50-year-old black male presented with acute type A aortic dissection. Surgical repair was performed under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) with lung perfusion/ventilation throughout the procedure. Details of the lung perfusion technique and its potential benefits and drawbacks are discussed.

Background: The hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) is an indispensable step in the surgical treatment of an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), which could greatly affect the postoperative outcome. We modified the HCA technique and validated the feasibility and superiority of the new approach relative to the conventional method. Methods and results: Eighty-eight patients with ATAAD were enrolled in this study between May 2016 and April 2018. Of those, 36 patients in the Conventional treatment group had circulatory arrest at 25°C for about 16-28 minutes, while 52 patients in the Modification group underwent a circulatory arrest at 28°C for only 1-3 minutes. The preoperative clinical data and postoperative clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. No intraoperative mortality occurred in any of the cases. No significant differences were observed in the aortic cross-clamp times during the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) between the two groups. In the Modification group, several indicators, such as mechanical ventilation time, postoperative 48-h drainage volume, blood transfusion volume, the ICU-stay time and postoperative hospital stay, were reduced significantly as compared with those in the Conventional group. Whereas three postoperative deaths in the hospital occurred in the Conventional treatment group, all the patients in the Modification group were cured. There is no difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups. The patients had a 100% follow up with a mean of 17 ± 6 months. Conclusions: A moderate hypothermia with a short circulatory arrest is a safe and effective HCA approach that provides satisfactory early and near-midterm results in the patients who received ATAAD treatment.
