  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection during Pregnancy

    Objective To summarize our diagnostic and treatment experience for patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAAD) during pregnancy. Methods Clinical data of 3 AAAD gravida (age of 30,32,35) who received surgical treatment in Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University from May 2008 to July 2010 were retros-pectively analyzed. One gravida received Sun’s procedure (total arch replacement combined with stented elephant trunk implantation) 3 days after cesarean section,but the fetus died in the uterus. Another gravida successfully underwent Bentall procedure and Sun’s procedure immediately after cesarean section and hysterectomy. The third gravida received cesarean section with the uterus in situ followed by ascending aorta replacement and Sun’s procedure. Results All the 3 puerperasrecovered uneventfully,and the 2 newborns of the second and third puerperas also lived well. The 3 puerperas were followedup for 6 months after discharge. CT scan showed organized thrombus in the aortic false lumen. During follow-up,the 3 puerperas recovered well,and the 2 infants had normal growth and development. Conclusions Management principles of AAAD during pregnancy firstly include timely and accurate diagnosis,which is of prime importance. Secondly,gravidas’hemodynamics should maintain stable. Thirdly,intraoperative hemorrhage should be satisfactorily controlled. Lastly,multi-modality treatment is very important to improve the prognosis of both gravidas and fetuses.

  • Total Aortic Arch Reconstruction with Triple-branched Aortic Arch Stent Graft Placement in Elderly Patients with Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection

    ObjectiveTo summarize clinical experience of total aortic arch reconstruction with triple-branched stent graft placement in elderly patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection (SAAD). MethodsFrom December 2008 to December 2012, 46 elderly SAAD patients underwent total aortic arch reconstruction with triple-branched stent graft placement under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective cerebral perfusion (SCP)in Department of Cardiova-scular Surgery, Henan Provincial Chest Hospital. There were 37 male and 9 female patients with their age of 65-75 (68.2±5.0)years. There were 6 patients undergoing modified David procedure, 1 patient undergoing Bentall procedure, 2 patients undergoing Wheat procedure, and 37 patients undergoing ascending aortic replacement. ResultsThere was no in-hos-pital death. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 135-183 (131.1±10.5)minutes, aortic cross-clamping time was 81-100 (61.5±18.3)minutes, and SCP time was 19-28 (24.4±5.6)minutes. Postoperative complications included low cardiac output syndrome in 3 patients, acute renal failure in 2 patients, pleural effusion in 5 patients, lung infection in 2 patients, and sternal dehiscence in 1 patient, who were all cured after treatment. All the patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months without complication related to the stent graft. ConclusionTotal aortic arch reconstruction with triple-branched stent graft placement is an easy surgical procedure for SAAD with a high successful rate and low morbidity, and especially suitable for elderly patients who can't bear traditional operation.

  • A Retrospective Study on Off-Label Drug Use in Dose of Ambroxol Hydrochloride Injection in Perioperative Period among Patients for Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection in Guangdong General Hospital between 2005 and 2014

    ObjectiveTo investigate the situation of off-label drug use in dose (OLDUD) of ambroxol hydrochloride injection (AHI) in perioperative period among patients for stanford type A aortic dissection in Guangdong General Hospital, so as to provide references for the rational application of AHI in clinical practice. MethodsAll medical orders of AHI for patients had aortic arch replacement for Stanford type A aortic dissection in Guangdong General Hospital between January 2005 and December 2014 were included. The patients were divided into a mild OLDUD ( < 450 mg) group, a moderate OLDUD (450 mg≤OLDUD < 900 mg) group, and a high OLDUD (≥900 mg)group. The preoperative and postoperative features, incidence of PPCs, mortality, incidence of reintubation, time of mechanical ventilation, time stay in ICU, time stay in hospital and the overall costs among three groups were compared by SPSS 22.0 software. Resultsa) A total of 549 patients were included. The incidence of OLDUD was 99.82%. The most common PMDDs were 450 mg (n=358) and 900 mg (n=88). b) The three groups were well matched for perioperative and operative variables. c) The incidence of preoperative drug use was 8.6%. The incidences (5.5% vs. 7.7% vs. 15.7%, P=0.022) and maximum doses (180 mg vs. 300 mg vs. 450 mg, P=0.014) of preoperative drug use were statistically different in mild OLDUD, moderate OLDUD and high OLDUD groups. The days of preoperative drug use were not different (3 d vs. 2.5 d vs. 2 d, P=0.307). The days of postoperative drug use (9.5 d vs. 13 d vs. 19 d, P < 0.001) and postoperative drug use in maximum doses (7 d vs. 8 d vs. 7 d, P=0.005) were different. d) The incidence of PPCs was 100%, and the mortality (8.2% vs. 6.6% vs. 9.0%, P=0.696) was not statistically different among mild OLDUD, moderate OLDUD and high OLDUD groups. However the incidence of reintubation (14.3% vs. 13.8% vs. 27%, P=0.009), time of mechanical ventilation (37 h vs. 50 h vs. 114 h, P < 0.001), time stay in ICU (138 h vs. 178.5 h vs. 316 h, P < 0.001), time stay in hospital (25 d vs. 27 d vs. 34 d, P=0.001) and the overall costs (¥ 0.17 million vs. ¥ 0.19 million vs. ¥ 0.25 million, P < 0.001) were different among three groups. Moreover, they were all increasing along with the dose of AHI. ConclusionAHI cannot improve the prognosis of patients having aortic arch replacement for Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection in a dose-dependent manner. Further well-designed prospective studies should be conducted to verification or falsification.

  • 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.

  • Risk factors of mortality and morbidity after surgical procedure for Stanford type A aortic dissection

    Objective To assess the independent risk factors of in-hospital mortality and morbidity after surgical procedure for Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD). Methods Between May 2013 and May 2015, 341 TAAD patients were treated with surgical procedure in Fu Wai Hospital. There were 246 males and 95 females with a mean age of 47.42±11.54 years (range 29-73 years). Among them, 87 patients suffered severe complications or death after the procedure (complication group) and the other 254 patients recovered well without any severe complications (no complication group). Perioperative clinical data were compared between the two groups. Results Mean age of patients in the complication group was significantly higher than that of the no complication group (49.91±11.22 yearsvs. 46.57±11.54 years,P=0.019). The incidence of preoperative ischemic organ injury in the complication group was significantly higher than that in the no complication group: cerebral ischemia (18.4%vs. 5.9%,P=0.001), spinal cord injury (16.1%vs. 4.7%,P=0.001), acute kidney injury (31.0%vs. 10.6%,P=0.000). The incidence of branch vessels involvement in the complication group was significantly higher than that in the no complication group: coronary artery involvement (52.9%vs. 17.1%,P=0.000), supra-aortic vessels involvement (73.6%vs. 53.9%,P=0.001), celiac artery involvement (37.9%vs. 22.0%,P=0.003), mesenteric artery involvement (18.4%vs. 9.8%,P=0.030), and unilateral or bilateral renal artery involvement (27.6%vs. 9.8%,P=0.000). Surgical time of patients in the complication group was significantly longer than that of the no complication group, including cardiopulmonary bypass time (205.05±63.65 minvs. 167.67±50.24 min,P<0.05) and cross-clamp time (108.11±34.79 minvs. 90.75±27.33 min,P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis found that age, preoperative concomitant cerebral ischemic injury, preoperative concomitant acute renal injury, preoperative limb sensory and/or motor dysfunction, coronary artery involvement, cardiopulmonary bypass time were independent risk factors of postoperative death and severe complications in TAAD patients. However, risk of postoperative mortality and morbidity significantly decreased after the concomitant coronary artery bypass graft [OR=0.167 (0.060, 0.467),P=0.001]. Conclusion The high risk factors of postoperative complication in TAAD patients are explored to provide an important clinical basis for preoperative identification of patients at high risk and we need pay more attention to the prevention of these postoperative complications.

  • Therapeutic effect of mild hypothermia on the inflammatory response and outcome in perioperative patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection: A randomized controlled trial

    Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of mild hypothermia on the inflammatory response, organ function and outcome in perioperative patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAAD). Methods From February 2017 to February 2018, 56 patients with AAAD admitted in our department were enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups including a control group and an experimental group. After deep hypothermia circulatory arrest during operation, in the control group (n=28), the patients were rewarmed to normal body temperatures (36 to 37 centigrade degree), and which would be maintained for 24 hours after operation. While in the experimental group (n=28), the patients were rewarmed to mild hypothermia (34 to 35 centigrade degree), and the rest steps were the same to the control group. The thoracic drainage volume and the incidence of shivering at the first 24 hours after operation, inflammatory indicators and organ function during perioperation, and outcomes were compared between the two groups. There were 20 males and 8 females at age of 51.5±8.7 years in the control group, 24 males and 4 females at age of 53.3±11.2 years in the experimental group.Results There was no obvious difference in the basic information and operation information in patients between the two groups. Compared to the control group, at the 24th hour after operation, the level of peripheral blood matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was lower than that in the experimental group (P=0.008). In the experimental group, after operation, the awakening time was much shorter (P=0.008), the incidence of bloodstream infection was much lower (P=0.019). While the incidence of delirium, acute kidney injury (AKI), hepatic insufficiency, mechanical ventilation duration, intensive care unit (ICU) stays, or hospital mortality rate showed no statistical difference. And at the first 24 hours after operation, there was no difference in the thoracic drainage volume between the two groups, and no patient suffered from shivering. Conclusion The mild hypothermia therapy is able to shorten the awakening time and reduce the incidence of bloodstream infection after operation in the patients with AAAD, and does not cause the increase of thoracic drainage volume or shivering.

  • Efficacy of restrictive bare stent in the treatment of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection

    ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of restrictive bare stent released on the distal end of the trunk of Stanford type A aortic dissection. Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection requiring aortic arch replacement and trunk surgery and selected for restrictive bare stent placement from November 2016 to February 2018 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 19 males and 3 females, aged 34-68 (49.72±8.05) years. The bare stent was released in the descending thoracic aorta, and the stented elephant trunk was placed in the bare stent. The aortic computerized tomography angiography was reviewed before discharge and the stent position and complications were observed. ResultsOne patient failed to be implanted with bare stents due to a greater resistance and prolapse during implantation. Bare stents were successfully implanted in the remaining 21 patients. One patient died of large-area cerebral infarction after surgery and one patient suffered paraplegia. Twenty patients who survived and successfully implanted bare stents were followed up at regular intervals for 4-21 (13.00±6.14) months. No stroke or death occurred during the follow-up. The computerized tomography angiography showed good stent morphology and position, and no displacement or type Ⅲ endoleak. No stent graft-induced new entry was found. ConclusionAs an adjunct to stented elephant trunk, the use of restrictive bare stents can reduce the possibility of recurrence of a distal stent fracture, significantly expand the narrowest segment and true lumen caliber near the endoluminal graft. Aortic remodeling works well.

  • Different surgical procedures for Stanford type A aortic dissection: A case control study

    Objective To analyze the near-term clinical efficacy of two different surgical procedures (Sun's procedure and Debranching combined endovascular stent-graft procedure) to cure Stanford type A aortic dissection, and summarize the clinical experience to help better master the indications of the two surgical procedures. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 46 patients with Stanford A aortic dissection in our hospital between September 2014 and September 2017. There were 39 males and 7 females at age of 20–74 (48.67±11.80) years. According to different surgical methods, the patients were divided into a Sun's procedure group (26 patients) and a debranching combined endovascular stent-graft procedure group (20 patients). The clinical effect of the two groups was compared. Results The debranching combined endovascular stent-graft procedure group was significantly superior to the Sun's group in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, aortic cross clamp(ACC) time, intraoperative urine output, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, postoperative 24 h volumes of drain, CICU time, renal function recovery of postoperative 72 h and total hospital stay(P<0.05). The incidence of transient neurological damage after operation in the debranching combined endovascular stent-graft procedure group was significantly lower than that of the Sun's procedure group(P<0.05). The follow-up time ranged from 3 to 36 months. And the follow-up rate was 90.5%. One patient in the Sun's procedure group died of serious pulmonary infection postoperative 30 days. One patient in the debranching combined endovascular stent-graft group was found to have internal leakage in the early postoperative examination and disappeared after 6 months. Sun's procedure group did not find endoleak. All patients during the follow-up time did not appear brain, coagulation disorders, stroke, paraplegia, upper limb ischemia and other complications. Conclusion For Stanford type A aortic dissection, debranching combined surgery may have the risk of postoperative endoleak, but the overall effect is superior to Sun's operation. Therefore, debranching combined surgery should be preferred for the treatment of this type of dissection.

  • The effect of Cabrol in treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection

    ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of Cabrol in treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection.MethodsThe clinical data of patients whom were diagnosed with type A aortic dissection of Stanford in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All of 40 patients underwent Cabrol surgical procedure. There were 31 males and 9 females aged 26–75 (48.8±3.3) years. The surgical treatment effect of the patients was evaluated, mainly including the aortic index, the changes in cardiac function before and after operation, and the postoperative follow-up.ResultsAll the 40 patients completed the operation successfully. The diameter of ascending aorta and aortic sinus in postoperative patients were smaller than those before operation (P<0.05). Postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiac output increased, central venous pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension decreased, and cardiac function indexes were significantly different from those before the operation (P<0.05). Seven patients suffered complications in postoperative follow-up including one stenting leakage, three neurological diseases and three acute renal failure. Two patients died postoperatively.ConclusionCabrol’s operation is effective in the treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection, which can significantly improve the cardiac function of patients, simplify the anastomosis of coronary artery ostia and decrease amount of bleeding.
