Hemiarch Replacement

Aim. To compare the effectiveness and safety of ascending aortic hemiarch replacement performed during hypothermic circulatory arrest with different temperature regimens.Material and methods. The study included 104 patients with ascending aortic aneurysm, who underwent ascending aortic hemiarch replacement under hypothermic circulatory arrest and antegrade cerebral perfusion. Depending on the temperature regimen, all patients were divided into two comparable groups: group 1 (n=28) — patients operated on under mild hypothermia (29-31oС), group 2 (n=76) — patients operated on under moderate hypothermia (25-28oC).Results. Comparative analysis of intraoperative data between groups of patients with mild and moderate hypothermia revealed a significant difference in the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (111 [97; 135] min vs 125 [108.5; 170] min, p=0,031) and surgery (240 [210; 270 ] min vs 275 [240; 330] min, p=0,003). In the early postoperative period, the best results were also obtained in patients of mild hypothermia group. In these patients, compared with moderate hypothermia group, there was a lower frequency of reoperation due to bleeding (3,5% vs 5,2%, p=0,572), a decrease in transfused fresh frozen plasma volume (2 [2; 4] vs 4 [2; 4], p=0,03), a decrease in the ventilatory support duration (10 [7; 16] hours vs 18 [10; 24] hours, p=0,002), as well as a bed-day decrease in intensive care unit (2 [2; 3] and 3 [2; 4] days, p=0,005). No neurologic deficit was found in any of the patients. In-hospital mortality had no significant intergroup differences (p=0,541).Conclusion. An increase in the temperature regimen during the ascending aortic hemiarch replacement performed under hypothermic circulatory arrest is relatively safe in relation to early postoperative complications. Mild hypothermia does not increase early postoperative surgical risks compared to moderate hypothermia.

Aortic Aneurysm Repair

<p><strong>Background</strong><strong>: </strong>This study aimed to report the outcomes of patients who underwent proximal thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery with open distal anastomosis technique but without cerebral perfusion, instead under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Thirty patients (21 male, 9 female) who underwent ascending aortic aneurysm repair with open distal anastomosis technique were included. The average age was 60.2±11.7 years. Operations were performed under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and the cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass was first done over the aneurysmatic segment and then moved over the graft. Intraoperative and early postoperative mortality and morbidity outcomes were reported.</p><p><strong>Results</strong><strong>: </strong>Average duration of cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamps were 210.8±43 and 154.9±35.4 minutes, respectively. Average duration of total circulatory arrest was 25.2±2.4 minutes. There was one hospital death (3.3%) due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at postoperative day 22. No neurological dysfunction was observed during the postoperative period.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These results demonstrate that open distal anastomosis under less than 30 minutes of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest without antegrade or retrograde cerebral perfusion and cannulation of the aneurysmatic segment is a safe and reliable procedure in patients undergoing proximal thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery.</p><p> </p>

Type A Dissection

Background: Mild hypothermia circulatory arrest combined with lower body perfusion (LBP) might be beneficial for the recovery of patients with acute type A dissection. However, the safety of mild hypothermic circulatory arrest with LBP used in total arch replacement combined with frozen elephant trunk implantation (FET) via single upper hemisternotomy approach is ambiguous. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 70 consecutive patients with acute type A dissections who underwent total arch replacement combined with FET between April 2019 to December 2019. These individuals were divided into the moderate (MO) group (N = 39, surgery performed at moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest) and the mild (MI) group (N = 31, surgery conducted at mild hypothermic circulatory arrest with LBP). Perioperative characteristics were recorded. Results: No significant difference in any of the pre- and intraoperative variables was observed between the two groups except for circulatory arrest time, which was significantly shorter in the MI group compared with the MO group [10 (8-11) min vs. 35 (31- 34) min, P = 0.000]. After operation, ventilation times [19 (16 - 24) h vs. 24 (17 - 43) h, P = 0.046] and ICU stay [41 (34 - 58) h vs. 54 (42 - 85) h, P = 0.002] were significantly shorter in the MI group compared with the MO group. Conclusions: Total arch replacement combined with FET at mild hypothermia circulatory arrest with lower body antegrade perfusion via single upper hemisternotomy approach is safe and feasible with significantly shorter time of circulatory arrest compared with no LBP.

Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion

Background: Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) minimizes deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) duration during arch surgery in infants, which may impact the outcomes of the repair. We aimed to evaluate the effect of adding antegrade cerebral perfusion to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest on DHCA duration and operative outcomes of different aortic arch operations in infants. Methods: We retrospectively collected data from infants (<20 weeks old) who underwent aortic arch reconstruction (Norwood operation, arch reconstruction for the hypoplastic arch and interrupted aortic arch) using DHCA alone (n=88) or combined with ACP (n=26). We excluded patients who had concomitant procedures and those with preoperative neurological disability. Results: There was no difference between groups as regards the age, gender, and the operation performed (p= 0.64; 0.87 and 0.50; respectively). Among the 114 patients, 11 (9.6%) had operative mortality, and 14 (12.3%) had cerebral infarction diagnosed with CT scanning. Adding ACP to DHCA significantly reduced DHCA duration from 50.7 ± 10.6 minutes to 22.4 ± 6.2 minutes (p<0.001) and lowered the mortality (11 vs. 0; p=0.066) and cerebral infarction (13 vs. 1; p=0.18). No statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of ischemic time (p=0.63) or hospital stay duration (p=0.47). Conclusion: Using ACP appears to reduce the DHCA duration and was associated with better survival and neurological outcomes of aortic arch surgery in infants. A study with longer follow-up to evaluate the long-term neurological sequelae is recommended.
