ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe the outcome of open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair following previous aortic arch repair including elephant trunk (ET) or frozen elephant trunk (FET) for acute and chronic pathologies.METHODS:
This was a retrospective, observational, multicenter study including 32 patients treated between 2006 and 2019 in two aortic centers using identical surgical protocols. Assessment focused on perioperative and long-term outcome, namely in-hospital morbidity and mortality, as well as procedure-related reintervention rate and aortic-related mortality rate. Kaplan-Meier curves with 95% confidence intervals were used to analyze the overall survival after surgery within the cohort.RESULTS:
Thirty-two patients (mean age, 45.0 ± 13.6 years; 20 males [62.5%]) were treated because of acute (34.38% [n = 11]) or chronic (65.62% [n = 21]) aortic pathologies, including residual dissection following acute, symptomatic type A dissection (n = 7) and symptomatic mega aortic syndrome (n = 4), as well as post-dissection TAAA (n = 18) and asymptomatic mega aortic syndrome (n = 3). Twenty-eight patients (87.5%) received type II repair, and 4 patients (12.5%) received type III repair after previous ascending aorta and arch repair including ET/FET. Concomitant infrarenal and iliac vessel repair was performed in 38.7% (n = 12) and 29.4% (n = 10), respectively. The in-hospital mortality rate was 18.75% (n = 6). Spinal cord ischemia occurred in two cases, both after one-stage emergency procedure with one case of permanent paraplegia. Temporary acute kidney injury occurred in 41.94% (n = 13). The estimated 1-year survival rate was 78.1% (95% confidence interval, 63.9%-95.6%), with a median follow-up time of 1.29 years (interquartile range, 0.26-3.88 years). No procedure-related reinterventions and one case of aortic-related mortality, namely sepsis because of graft infection, was observed.CONCLUSIONS:
Open TAAA repair following aortic arch repair including ET or FET because of acute or chronic aortic pathologies is associated with a relevant perioperative morbidity and mortality rate. During follow-up, a low aortic-related mortality rate and procedure-related reintervention rate were observed.Palavras-chave
