ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this multicentre study was to demonstrate the safety and clinical performance of E-vita OPEN NEO Stent Graft System (Artivion, Inc.) in the treatment of aneurysm or dissection, both acute and chronic, in the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta.METHODS:
In this observational study of 12 centres performed in Europe and in Asia patients were enrolled between December 2020 and March 2022. All patients underwent frozen elephant trunk using E-vita OPEN NEO Stent Graft System. Primary end point was the rate of all-cause mortality at 30 days and secondary end points included further clinical and safety data are reported up to 3-6 months postoperatively.RESULTS:
A total of 100 patients (66.7% male; mean age, 57.7 years) were enrolled at 12 sites. A total of 99 patients underwent surgery using the E-vita OPEN NEO for acute or subacute type A aortic dissection (n = 37), chronic type A aortic dissection (n = 33) or thoracic aortic aneurysm (n = 29), while 1 patient did not undergo surgery. Device technical success at 24 h was achieved in 97.0%. At discharge, new disabling stroke occurred in 4.4%, while new paraplegia and new paraparesis was reported in 2.2% and 2.2%, respectively. Renal failure requiring permanent (>90 days) dialysis or hemofiltration at discharge was observed in 3.3% of patients. Between discharge and the 3-6 months visit, no patients experienced new disabling stroke, new paraplegia or new paraparesis. The 30-day mortality was 5.1% and the estimated 6-month survival rate was 91.6% (standard deviation 2.9).CONCLUSIONS:
Total arch replacement with the E-vita OPEN NEO can be performed with excellent results in both the acute and chronic setting. This indicates that E-vita OPEN NEO can be used safely, including in the setting of acute type A aortic dissection.Palabras clave
