An autopsy case of retrograde in situ branched stent grafting for a complex aortic arch aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: Although retrograde in situ branched stent grafting (RIBS) is one possible treatment option for thoracic aortic aneurysms, concerns exist regarding the durability of the stent graft (SG) at the junction between the main SG and the branched SG. We report on the autopsy results of a patient treated with RIBS for a complex aortic arch aneurysm. The patient had died of a nonaortic cause 14 months after the RIBS procedure. On computed tomography analysis and a leak test, the harvested SG was intact without any stent fracture, stenosis, or junctional leak at 1 atm water pressure (760 mm Hg).

Retrograde in situ branched stent grafting for a patient with type V thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.

Project description:We have presented the case of a 76-year-old patient with a type V thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm treated by retrograde in situ branched stent grafting to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Via a 9-cm, median laparotomy, a percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage needle was inserted from the distal part of the first jejunal artery to the origin of the SMA. After stent graft placement into the aorta, the graft was retrogradely punctured using the percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage needle. The SMA ischemic time was 6 minutes. The puncture site was dilated, and a small, covered stent was deployed. Postoperative computed tomography scanning showed no endoleak with sac regression.

Retrograde type B aortic dissection after fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

Project description:Retrograde type B aortic dissection after perivisceral aortic endograft placement is a rare occurrence, not well described in literature. A handful of case reports describe this complication after infrarenal endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). We have identified retrograde type B aortic dissection after fenestrated-branched EVAR (F/BEVAR) as a rare, but real complication. We describe diagnosis and management of 4 such occurrences in the context of 344 F/BEVARs.

Changes in stent-graft orientation after frozen elephant trunk treatment in aortic arch aneurysm.

Project description:BackgroundChanges in stent graft (SG) orientation after frozen elephant trunk (FET) treatment for aortic arch aneurysms are not well understood. This study investigated changes in SG orientation and their effects on aortic events after FET for aortic arch aneurysms.MethodsThis study included 57 patients with true aneurysms who underwent elective total arch replacement using FET between 2016 and 2023. Postoperative SG angle, descending aortic (DA) diameter at the end of the SG, and the DA angle were measured retrospectively by using enhanced computed tomography (CT).ResultsMedian patient age was 74 years. The median stent size was 33 mm, and the stent length was 12 cm (range, 23-37 mm and 6-15 cm). Enhanced CT showed that all the patients had completely thrombosed aneurysms after the procedure. Aortic events (dissection or type Ib leaks) were observed in four patients during the follow-up period. The diameter of the DA at the end of the SG and the DA angle increased in recent periods (P=0.04 and P=0.01, respectively). The SG angle changed to an obtuse angle in the recent periods (P<0.0001). The probability of postoperative aortic events did not correlate with changes in SG orientation but with the ratio of recent postoperative descending diameter to preoperative descending diameter (P=0.04).ConclusionsThe descending aorta into which the SG was inserted showed flattening and widening movements owing to the spiring back force. One of the factors related to aortic events was dilation of the postoperative DA due to oversizing of the SG.

Endovascular exclusion of the entire aortic arch with branched stent-grafts after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.

Project description:BackgroundThe treatment of residual pathology of the aortic arch after surgical repair for type A acute dissection (AAD) represents a therapeutic challenge. Recently, new branched endovascular devices have expanded the possibility of aortic arch stent-grafting (ASG) with proximal landing in zone 0. The aim of this retrospective, single-center study was to evaluate outcomes of patients with a history of surgical repair for AAD undergoing ASG with branched devices.MethodsWe analyzed patients undergoing ASG after treatment for type AAD with 2 different branched devices: Nexus (dual-module, single branch, off-the-shelf) and RelayBranch (single-module, dual branch, custom-made). Before ASG, surgical bypass of supra-aortic vessels was performed according to patient's anatomy and to the selected device. All patients underwent clinical and computed tomography scan evaluation before hospital discharge, at 6 months, and on a yearly basis thereafter.ResultsFrom March 2017 to April 2019, 4 consecutive patients underwent ASG after surgery for AAD at our institution. Mean time from surgery for AAD to ASG was 20 months. Mean age at the time of ASG was 72 years. Nexus and Relay were implanted in 2 patients each. All patients survived and were successfully discharged. Mean intensive care unit stay and hospital stay were 3 and 19 days, respectively. We did not observe any major adverse events. At a mean follow-up of 28 months, all patients are alive and computed tomography scans showed good anatomic results with no endoleaks.ConclusionsThis preliminary experience shows that ASG after surgery for AAD is feasible and provides encouraging clinical and anatomic early results.

Extensive Arch Repair with a Novel Two-Branched Stent Graft in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.

Project description:PurposeIn this study, we compared the early results between the extensive arch repair with a novel two-branched stent graft (TSG) and the traditional technique.MethodsBetween 2013 July and 2015 March, 63 acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients from four cardiac centers with indications for extensive arch repair were included in this study. Finally, 28 patients were involved in the traditional procedure (TP) group (23 males with the age of 49.75 ± 9.26 years) and 35 patients were involved in the TSG group (29 males with the age of 53.82 ± 8.17 years).ResultsThe operation was successful in all patients. The selective cerebral perfusion time, total operation time, and chest drainage within 24 hours after the operation in the TSG group were significantly less than those in the TP group (P ≤0.05). The mean follow-up time was 11.17 ± 1.74 months in the TP group and 11.94 ± 4.29 months in the TSG group. No statistical differences were found in aortic diameter, false lumen diameter, and true lumen diameter at the diaphragmatic level during the follow-up.ConclusionOur technique with a novel TSG simplified the extensive arch repair procedure and was an effective way for the treatment of ATAAD.

Two-staged hybrid repair of multiple great vessel and thoracic aneurysms with right vocal fold palsy using retrograde in situ branched stent grafting: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundRepair of multiple thoracic aneurysms with vocal fold palsy represents a surgical challenge. Here, we present a case of multiple cervical and thoracic aortic aneurysms with right vocal fold palsy successfully treated with two-stage hybrid repair using retrograde in situ branched grafting.Case presentationA 52-year-old patient with multiple cervical and thoracic aortic aneurysms and right vocal fold palsy was treated using two-stage hybrid repair. Initially, the patient underwent an open partial arch replacement with reconstruction of the right subclavian, right common carotid, and left common carotid arteries. Three months after the initial procedure, the left subclavian artery was reconstructed during thoracic endovascular aortic repair with retrograde in situ stent grafting using the needle technique. The postoperative course was uneventful with no endoleaks detected using postoperative computed tomography.ConclusionThis case highlighted the potential of two-stage repair of multiple thoracic aneurysms using retrograde in situ stent grafting. With the expansion of surgical options to include endovascular and hybrid approaches, surgical procedures should be carefully planned for individuals with complex aortic diseases.
