A case report: stent implantation to treat coarctation of persistent 5th aortic arch associated with interrupted 4th aortic arch.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persistent 5th aortic arch is a rare cardiac anomaly that is usually surgically corrected during infancy or early childhood if it is associated with coarctation of the aorta. Here, we report an adult with coarctation of the 5th aortic arch who was successfully treated by stent implantation.

Case summary

An asymptomatic 32-year-old woman presented with hypertension and a significant arm-leg difference in pressure. On suspicion of coarctation of the aorta, a chest computed tomography was performed, leading to a diagnosis of an interrupted 4th aortic arch with coarctation of a persistent 5th aortic arch. Percutaneous catheter intervention using a PALMAZ large stent dilated to 12?mm resulted in a minimal peak-to-peak pressure gradient. The patient was discharged home after a 2-day monitoring without hypertension and arm-leg blood pressure difference. She remained normotensive with a patent aortic arch on echocardiography performed 10 months after treatment.

Discussion

As for simple coarctation of the aorta, stent implantation was feasible and effective in an adult patient with coarctation of the 5th aortic arch.

Project description:BackgroundAcute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a disease with high mortality, for which total aortic arch replacement (TAAR) combined with stent elephant implantation (SETI) is a reliable surgical treatment; however, it is associated with a high incidence of postoperative stroke. This retrospective study aimed to find preoperative and postoperative risk factors for postoperative stroke in patients with TAAR combined with SETI, and to provide predictive models and single-factor threshold suggestions.MethodsFrom October 2019 to March 2021, 229 AAAD patients who underwent TAAR and SETI were selected. Patients were divided into stroke group (n = 23) and non-stroke group (n = 206), and preoperative/intraoperative factors were evaluated by independent-samples T-test/ Mann-Whitney U test/Chi-Square test and odds ratio (OR) analysis. The Logistic regression equation and decision tree were used to construct the prediction model of the probability of postoperative stroke. Bayesian-learning model and 2-order derivation were used to calculate the inflection points of the continuous variables.FindingsPlatelet count (PLT), International normalised ratio (INR) value, presence of diabetic history, and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time were independent predictors of postoperative stroke (P-value < 0.05), and the above four factors were used to construct the Logistic regression equation. As for the decision-tree model, a radical model with higher accuracy in stroke predicting was chosen. Three inflection points for the effect of continuous variables (PLT count = 60 × 10^9/L; INR value = 1.82; CPB time = 300 min) on postoperative stroke were found by 2-order derivation.InterpretationPLT count, INR value, presence of diabetic history, and CPB time were significant preoperative and intraoperative risk factors for postoperative stroke, and the identification and modeling of these factors can help us to take more active brain protection measures in high-risk patients.FundingYS was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant ID 81671942).
