Objective To evaluate the validity of European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) Ⅱ for predicting in-hospital mortality and prolonged ICU stay after Sun's procedure (total aortic arch replacement with stented elephant trunk implantation) for Stanford type A aortic dissection (STAAD). Methods Clinical data of 384 STAAD patients undergoing Sun's procedure in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between February 2009 and February 2012 were retrospectively analyzed, including 228 (59.38%) patients with acute STAAD. Accoding to EuroSCORE Ⅱ to predict postoperative mortality, all the patients were divided into a low-risk group, a medium-risk group, a high-risk group and an extremely-high-risk group. There were 296 patients including 52 females in the low-risk group with their age of 45.39±10.75 years, 70 patients including 19 females in the medium-risk group with their age of 47.67±11.26 years, 13 patients including 5 females in the high-risk group with their age of 53.08±4.94 years, and 5 patients including 1 female patient in the extremely-high-risk group with their age of 41.60±11.08 years. All the patients received Sun's procedure under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion. EuroSCORE Ⅱ was used to predict postoperative mortality and prolonged ICU stay. Results In-hospital mortality was 8.07% (31/384). Mean length of ICU stay was 3.06 days. Length of ICU stay of 42 patients was longer than 7 days. For low-risk group, the predicted mortality was lower than the actual mortality. For medium-risk, high-risk and extremely-high-risk groups, the predicted mortality was higher than the actual mortality. EuroSCORE Ⅱ showed unsatisfactory discriminatory ability to predict postoperative mortality and prolonged ICU stay. The area under ROC curve were 0.49 and 0.52 respectively. The calibration was also poor for predicting postoperative mortality and prolonged ICU stay (P<0.001). Conclusions EuroSCORE Ⅱ is not satisfactory for predicting mortality and prolonged ICU stay after Sun's procedure for the treatment of STAAD. A new risk evaluating system specific for STAAD is needed.
