ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the outcome of endovascular stent graft placement in patients with acute thoracic aortic syndromes.METHODS:
Emergency stent-graft implantations were performed in 57 patients with acute thoracic aortic syndromes from May 2001 to December 2005 (45 Stanford B aortic dissections, 9 acute penetrating aortic ulcers or pseudoaneurysms. 3 traumatic thoracic aneurysms). The clinical data, efficacy and follow-up results were analyzed.RESULTS:
Procedures were successful in all patients. Type I endoleaks were evidenced in 5 patients and ascending aortic dissection occurred in 1 patient during operation, 5 patients with acute penetrating aortic ulcer complicating with coronary artery disease received successful PCI immediately post endovascular stent graft placement. Adynamia in extremities occurred in 1 patient and recovered two days later post anisodamine and mcnicol treatments. Left vertebral artery ischemia was found in 1 patient due to coated subclavian artery by stent-graft and the patient recovered spontaneously after two days lethargy without special treatment. The mean ICU time after surgery was 3.5 days (1 - 8 days) and the mean hospitalization time was 10 days. The mean follow-up time was 25.30 +/- 13.1 months (1 - 47 months). Two patients died within 30 days after operation, 1 patient died of rupture of the ascending aortic dissection (7 days post operation), 1 patient died of acute renal failure at the 2nd day post operation. One patient died of empsyxis 3 months after procedure, 1 patient died at the 4th month post procedure for unknown reason, 1 patient received second stent-graft implantation because of a newly formed endoleak at the proximal end of the stent-graft, 5 patients received second stent-graft implantation because of newly formed leaks at the remote end of the stent-graft. No paraplegia or stent migration or stenosis was observed during the follow up period. Total mortality during hospitalization and follow-up was 7.0%.CONCLUSION:
Patients with acute thoracic aortic syndrome could be effectively and safely treated by coated stent-graft endovascular placement.
