Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate outcomes of single sternum access for right subclavian artery cannulation without infraclavicular incision in surgery of the thoracic aorta.MethodsBetween January 2015 and December 2019, 44 consecutive patients underwent surgery of the thoracic aorta with cannulation of the right subclavian artery, after sternotomy and before pericardiotomy, through a direct percutaneous cannula with a single access without additional infraclavicular skin incision. The indication for surgery was type A acute aortic dissection in 29 patients (65.9%), proximal aortic aneurysm in 11 (25%), and aneurysm of the aortic arch in 4 (9%). Operative procedures were replacement of the ascending aorta in 23 patients, Bentall procedure in 10, hemiarch replacement in 6, and total arch replacement in 5. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cross-clamp times were 185 ± 62 minutes and 138 ± 41 minutes, respectively.ResultsThe in-hospital mortality rate was 6.8%. Permanent neurologic dysfunction occurred in 3 patients (6.8%) and temporary neurologic dysfunction occurred in 4 patients (9.0%). There were no vascular complications related to this technique. No lesions to the vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves have been reported.ConclusionsIn our experience, a single sternum access for right subclavian artery cannulation avoids the risk and complications of an infraclavicular incision required for axillary artery cannulation. This technique is safe and represent a valid option for CBP and antegrade cerebral perfusion during surgery of the thoracic aorta.

Project description:Right aortic arch with Kommerell's diverticulum is a very rare situation. Surgical treatment is recommended for symptomatic patients or asymptomatic patients with a large diverticulum. However planning the strategy of operation is difficult without a 3D imaging. We report a case of a 57-year-old man with right aortic arch, Kommerell's diverticulum, and aberrant left subclavian artery. After a 3D-CT imaging, the patient underwent descending aortic replacement without reconstruction of aberrant left subclavian artery. After operation, there was no signs or symptoms of ischemia of the left arm. If the reconstruction of the aberrant subclavian artery was too difficult, closing its orifice is an acceptable decision. It has been found advantageous because of a decrease blood loss and a shorter cardiopulmonary bypass duration. If an ischemia of the arm is noticed, additional reconstruction will have to be considered. 3D-CT imaging was very useful to have a proper orientation and plan for the operative strategy.

Project description:We report the rare case of a right aortic arch associated with agenesis of the left internal carotid artery. A 75-year-old woman with a medical history of tetralogy of Fallot presented with dizziness. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed agenesis of the left internal carotid artery in addition to a previously diagnosed right aortic arch. The left common carotid artery was present, but it was thin. Computed tomography showed the absence of the left carotid canal. The left anterior cerebral artery was fed via the anterior communicating artery. The left middle cerebral artery was fed via a thickened posterior communicating artery originating from the left posterior cerebral artery. Although a right aortic arch and agenesis of the internal carotid artery are both very rare, association of the two conditions may occur. Both anomalies depend on the abnormal regression of the dorsal aorta during embryonic development. In such a situation, the presence of other anomalies in the cardiac or central nervous system should be taken into consideration.

Project description:BackgroundCannulation strategy in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains controversial. We aimed to retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of double arterial cannulation (DAC) compared with right axillary cannulation (RAC) for ATAAD.MethodsFrom January 2016 to December 2018, 431 ATAAD patients were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into DAC group (n = 341) and RAC group (n = 90). Propensity score matching analysis was performed to compare the early and mid-term outcomes between these two groups. To confirm the organ protection effect by DAC, intraoperative blood gas results and cardiopulmonary bypass parameters were compared between the two groups.ResultsDemographics and preoperative comorbidities were comparable between two groups, while patients in DAC group were younger than RAC group (51.55 ± 13.21 vs. 56.07 ± 12.16 years, P < 0.001). DAC had a higher incidence of limb malperfusion (18.2% vs. 10.0%, P = 0.063) and lower incidence of coronary malperfusion (5.3% vs. 12.2%, P = 0.019). No significant difference in cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp time was found between the two groups. The in-hospital mortality was 13.5% (58/431), while there was no difference between the two groups (13.5% vs. 13.3%; P = 0.969). Patients who underwent DAC had higher incidence of postoperative stroke (5.9% vs. 0%, P = 0.019) and lower incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) (24.7% vs. 40.3%; P = 0.015). During a mean follow-up period of 31.8 (interquartile range, 25-45) months, the overall survival was 81.5% for DAC group and 78.0% for RAC group (P = 0.560). Intraoperative blood gas results and cardiopulmonary bypass parameters showed that DAC group had more intraoperative urine output volume than RAC group (P = 0.05), and the time of cooling (P = 0.04) and rewarming (P = 0.04) were shorter in DAC group.ConclusionsDAC will not increase the surgical risks compared to RAC, but could reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI which may be benefit for renal protection.

Project description:We report a 6-month-old female infant with deletion of chromosome 22q11.2 (DiGeorge/VFS TUPLE 1), normal atrial arrangement with concordant atrioventricular connection, pulmonary atresia, large subaortic ventricular septal defect, diminutive native pulmonary arteries, a characteristic weird-shape right aortic arch with arch-on-arch appearance and figure of 8 configuration. We presented the cardiac computed tomographic angiographic and cardiac angiographic features. Using Autodesk 3ds Max 2018 software, we explained and illustrated the speculative embryologic etiology of this bizarre aortic archanomaly with the extensive abnormal remodeling of the left brachiocephalic artery, based on a "five-embryonic aortic arches" concept. As to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a genetically confirmed case of DiGeorge syndrome and an exceedingly rare type of right aortic arch anomaly with embryologic explanation according to the "five-embryonic-aortic-arches" concept. It seems that the constellation of pulmonary atresia, bizarreshaped right aortic arch due to abnormal development of the aortic sac, and abnormal remodeling of the left brachiocephalic artery may be strongly suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome.

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) may be associated with various organ system disorders. Feeding problems are frequent in children with DS and may be caused by associated defects, including congenital heart defects, gastrointestinal defects, or endocrine disorders. In the absence of these associated conditions, feeding problems are often attributed to general hypotonia. However, an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), a rare vascular anomaly and an unusual cause of problems with the passage of solid food through the esophagus, has recently been suggested to occur more frequently in patients with DS. This knowledge is of importance when evaluating feeding difficulties in patients with DS. Additional investigation for identifying an ARSA may be indicated in selected patients. Diagnostic techniques, such as transthoracic echocardiography, barium contrast esophagram, angiography, or computed tomography-angiography (CT) can be used in a diagnostic flow chart. The presence of ARSA is not synonymous to the cause of feeding problems in patients with DS and corrective surgery of this vascular anomaly should be restricted to selected cases.

Project description:We present a very rare case of right aortic arch with an isolated left brachiocephalic artery in a 35-year-old female. This entity is an extremely uncommon aortic arch anomaly which has associated multisystem symptoms. We briefly discuss the hypothetical double aortic arch model originally described by Edwards. The aortic embryology can explain the anatomic findings and imaging manifestations of the isolated left brachiocephalic artery. Multimodality imaging evaluation can be helpful in detection and categorization of aortic arch abnormalities. A diagnostic imaging approach should focus on elucidating the abnormal aortic arch and great vessels arrangement with determination of associated cardiac, vascular or visceral congenital abnormalities.
