  • Validation of European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation Ⅱ in Predicting the Mortality and Prolonged Intensive Care Unit Stay after Sun's Procedure for Stanford type A Aortic Dissection

    ObjectiveTo 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). MethodsClinical 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. ResultsIn-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). ConclusionsEuroSCORE 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.

  • Open Surgery for the Treatment of Complex Acute Stanford Type B Aortic Dissection: An Open Stented Elephant Trunk Procedure

    ObjectiveTo summarize clinical experience and surgical indications of open stented elephant trunk (sET) procedure for the treatment of complex acute Stanford type B aortic dissection (AD). MethodsFrom February 2009 to April 2013, 25 patients with complex acute Stanford type B AD underwent open sET procedure in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. There were 22 male and 3 female patients with their age of 46.92±9.12 years (range, 30 to 66 years). There were 16 patients with hypertension and 3 patients with preoperative acute renal failure. All the patients received sET implantation via an aortic arch incision under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Concomitant procedures included extra-anatomic bypass grafting in 11 patients, Bentall procedure in 1 patient, aortic valve replacement in 3 patients, and ascending aorta plasty in 3 patients. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed before discharge and during follow-up for all the patients. ResultsOperation time was 4-7 (5.5±0.7) hours, cardiopulmonary bypass time was 93-206 (137.64±30.02) minutes, aortic cross-clamping time was 28-109 (57.96±21.05) minutes, and selective cerebral perfusion time was 15-76 (26.76±11.88) minutes. There was no in-hospital death. Postoperatively, there were 2 patients with pulmonary complications, 2 patients with type I endoleak, 1 patient with acute renal failure, 1 patient with temporary neurological disorder, 1 patient with sudden ventricular fibrillation, and 1 patient with delayed wound healing. Mean follow-up time was 6-54 (25.76±16.15) months, and 2 patients were lost during follow-up. The follow-up rate was 92%.There was no late death during follow-up. ConclusionsOpen sET procedure is a reliable and efficacious therapeutic strategy for patients with complex acute Stanford type B AD. Surgical indications include complex Stanford type B AD without enough landing zone, type B AD with ascending aortic disease, aortic root disease, valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease and congenital heart defects, and type B AD caused by genetic connective tissue disorder.

  • Surgical Repair of Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Involving an Aberrant Right Subc-lavian Artery

    ObjectiveTo summarize our experience and clinical effect of surgical treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) involving an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). MethodsFrom March 2009 to January 2016, 14 patients with TAAD involving an ARSA (acute TAAD, n=10; chronic TAAD, n=4) underwent operation under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass combined with selective antegrade cerebral perfusion in our center. There were 11 male and 3 female patients with a mean age of 46.07±8.45 years. A total of 13 patients (13/14, 92.86%) underwent stented elephant trunk procedure combined with total arch replacement (Sun's procedure). The remaining patient (1/14, 7.14%) underwent partial aortic arch replacement combined with Bentall procedure without ARSA revascularization. ResultsThe average operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time and selective cerebral perfusion time was 7.89±1.80 h, 208.43±28.84 min, 117.64±23.30 min, and 30.50±10.15 min, respectively. No operation-related deaths occurred. However, two (14.29%) patients died on postoperative 5 d, 7 d, respectively in hospital. One patient required repeat thoracotomy for bleeding, one suffered temporary renal dysfunction and one renal failure (this patient had renal failure before surgery). The mean follow-up was 28.42±22.52 months with a follow-up rate of 100.00% (12/12). One patient died of heart failure and renal failure at 64 months after operation. The others were free from any aortic complications during follow-up. ConclusionsTAAD involving an ARSA should be clearly diagnosed before surgery, and treated by the optimal arterial cannulation and cerebral perfusion during operation. Repair of aortic dissection with Sun's procedure and revascularization of the ARSA can obtain satisfactory clinical outcomes in patients with TAAD involving an ARSA.
