AbstractIn the majority of patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection (AAD) complicated by aortic valve insufficiency, the aortic valve (AV) can be preserved by AV resuspension. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the outcomes following AV resuspension for AAD. A systematic literature search for publications reporting outcomes after AV resuspension in AAD published between January 1998 and June 2018 was conducted. Early outcome events and linearized occurrence rates for late outcome events were derived. The retrieval process yielded 18 unique studies involving 3295 patients with a total of 17 532 patient-years (pt-yrs). Pooled early mortality was 15.5% [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 11.5–19.4%, I2 = 91.9%], and the linearized late mortality rate was 3.21%/pt-yrs (95% CI 2.49–3.77, I2 = 29%). The linearized occurrence rates for aortic root reintervention was 1.4%/pt-yrs (95% CI 0.88–1.79, I2 = 48%); for recurrent significant aortic valve insufficiency (>2+), it was 1.12%/pt-yrs (95% CI 0.79–1.45, I2 = 68%); and for endocarditis, it was 0.01%/pt-yrs (95% CI 0–0.04, I2 = 7%). The composite rate of thromboembolism and bleeding was 1.41%/pt-yrs (95% CI 0.18–2.63, I2 = 82%). A more recent surgical period was associated with a decreased hazard of reoperation on the aortic root (P < 0.001). Requirement of AV resuspension alone in AAD is a risk factor for mortality. The long-term durability of AV resuspension is excellent, with low rates of endocarditis and thromboembolism and bleeding. Root reoperation hazard has become acceptable in recent years. Preoperative aortic valve insufficiency grade exceeding 2+ is a predictor for root reoperation.

Objective: Valve-sparing root replacement is commonly used for management of aortic root aneurysms in elective setting, but its technical complexity hinders its broader adoption for acute Type-A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD). The Florida Sleeve (FS) procedure is a simplified form of valve sparing aortic root reconstruction that does not require coronary reimplantation. Here, we present our outcomes of the Florida Sleeve (FS) repair in patients with dilated roots in the setting of an ATAAD. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 24 consecutive patients (2002-2018) treated with FS procedure for ATAAD. Demographic, operative, and postoperative outcomes were queried from our institutional database. Long term follow-up was obtained from clinic visits for local patients, and with telephone and telehealth measures otherwise. Results: Mean age was 49 ± 14 years with 19 (79%) males. Marfan syndrome was present in 4 (16.7%) patients and 14 (58.3) had ≥2+ aortic insufficiency (AI). Nine (37.2%) had preoperative mal-perfusion or shock. The FS was combined with hemi-arch replacement in 15 (62.5%) patients and a zone-2 arch replacement in 9 (37.5%) patients. There were 2 (8.3%) early postoperative mortalities. Median follow-up period was 46 months (range; 0.3-146). The median survival of the entire cohort was 143.4 months. One patient (4.2%) required redo aortic valve replacement for unrelated aortic valve endocarditis at 30 months postoperatively. Conclusion: FS is simplified and reproducible valve-sparing root repair. In appropriate patients, it can be applied safely in acute Stanford type-A aortic dissection with excellent early and long-term results.

Background We evaluated the clinical and anatomic presentations of acute type A aortic dissection according to patient age. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 235 consecutive patients who underwent acute type A dissection repair between January 2000 and December 2014. The influence of age on anatomical and clinical presentation, surgical management in the entire cohort and also after exclusion of patients with known connective tissue disorders was assessed using logistic regression. Results Males presented with type A acute aortic dissection at a younger age than females. Acute onset with signs of myocardial ischemia, connective tissue disorders, or bicuspid aortic valve characterized the younger population. Extension to the coronary sinus(es) ( p = 0.0003), descending thoracic aorta ( p = 0.016), and abdominal aorta ( p = 0.029), and an intimal tear at the level of the aortic root ( p = 0.0017) correlated inversely with patient age. Similar findings were obtained after exclusion of patients with connective tissue disorders or a bicuspid aortic valve. Conclusions More frequent proximal and distal progression of the dissection flap occurs in younger patients with acute type A aortic dissection. Older age is associated with a lower probability of an intimal tear at the level of the sinus of Valsalva. These findings, associated with prognostic implications, account for the choice of more radical proximal procedures for repair of aortic dissection in younger patients.

Background: The goal of this study was to compare the early and late outcomes of different techniques of proximal root reconstruction during the repair of acute Type A aortic dissection, including aortic valve (AV) resuspension, aortic valve replacement (AVR), and a root replacement procedure. Methods: All patients who underwent acute Type A aortic dissection repair between January 2000 and October 2010 at four academic institutions were compiled from each institution’s Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database. This included 189 patients who underwent a concomitant aortic valve (AV) procedure; 111, 21, and 57 patients underwent AV resuspension, AVR, and the Bentall procedure, respectively. The median age of patients undergoing a root replacement procedure was significantly younger than the other two groups. Early clinical outcomes and 10-year actuarial survival rates were compared. Trends in outcomes and surgical techniques throughout the duration of the study were also analyzed. Results: The operative mortality rates were 17%, 29%, and 18%, for AV resuspension, AVR, and root replacement, respectively. Operative mortality (p = 0.459) was comparable between groups. Hemorrhage related re-exploration did not differ significantly between groups (p = 0.182); however, root replacement procedures tended to have decreased rates of bleeding when compared to AVR (p = 0.067). The 10-year actuarial survival rates for the AV resuspension, Bentall, and AVR groups were 72%, 56%, and 36%, respectively (log-rank p = 0.035). Conclusions: The 10-year actuarial survival was significantly lower in those receiving AVR compared to those receiving root replacement procedures or AV resuspension. Operative mortality was comparable between the three groups.
