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.

Background Total arch replacement with modified elephant trunk technique plays an important role in treating acute type A aortic dissection in China. We aim to summarize the therapeutic effects of this procedure in our center over a 17-year period. Methods Consecutive patients treated at our hospital due to type A aortic dissection from January 2004 to January 2021 were studied. Relevant data of these patients undergoing total arch replacement with modified elephant trunk technique were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 589 patients were included with a mean age of 53.1 ± 12.2 years. The mean of cardiopulmonary bypass, cross-clamping, and selected cerebral perfusion time were 199.6 ± 41.9, 119.0 ± 27.2, and 25.1 ± 5.0 min, respectively. In-hospital death occurred in 46 patients. Multivariate analysis identified four significant risk factors for in-hospital mortality: preexisting renal hypoperfusion (OR 5.43; 95% CI 1.31 – 22.44; P = 0.020), cerebral malperfusion (OR 11.87; 95% CI 4.13 – 34.12; P < 0.001), visceral malperfusion (OR 4.27; 95% CI 1.01 – 18.14; P = 0.049), and cross-clamp time ≥ 130 min (OR 3.26; 95% CI 1.72 – 6.19; P < 0.001). The 5, 10, and 15 years survival rates were 86.4%, 82.6%, and 70.2%, respectively. Conclusions Total arch replacement with modified elephant trunk technique is an effective treatment for acute type A aortic dissection with satisfactory perioperative results. Patients with preexisting renal hypoperfusion, cerebral malperfusion, visceral malperfusion, and long cross-clamp time are at a higher risk of in-hospital death.

Background Aortic enlargement after hemiarch replacement (HAR) for acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a serious problem. We reviewed our experience and analyzed the risk factors for aortic enlargement. Methods During April 2005 to December 2017, 364 patients underwent HAR for AAAD. Seventy-three patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. We analyzed the change in aortic diameter, aortic growth rate, and major adverse aortic events (MAAEs) and their association with luminal communication of the aortic arch. Results Anastomotic communication, supra-aortic communication (SAC), and distal aortic communication were found in 34 (46.6%), 28 (38.4%), and 20 (27.4%) patients, respectively. The aortic growth rate was high because of the presence of SAC, distal aortic communication, and the number of coexisting aortic communication. Univariate analysis showed that the presence of SAC and an initial aortic diameter > 35 mm at 20 mm distal to the left subclavian artery and at the pulmonary artery bifurcation (PAB) were risk factors for MAAEs. Multivariate analysis showed that SAC and an initial aortic diameter > 35 mm at the PAB were independent risk factors for MAAEs. Conclusion SAC, distal aortic communication, and the number of coexisting aortic communication are significant risk factors for aortic enlargement after HAR for AAAD. SAC and an initial aortic diameter > 35 mm at the PAB are independent risk factors for MAAEs after this procedure.
