RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to analyze long-term results of the total aortic arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique for primary chronic type B aortic dissection. METHODS: Among 322 patients who had the frozen elephant trunk technique, 43 (13.4%) patients (median age, 64.0 years) with primary chronic type B aortic dissection were analyzed. The patients underwent surgery at a median of 27.0 months after the onset of aortic dissection. The false lumen was patent in 30 (69.8%) patients preoperatively. RESULTS: Two patients suffered paraplegia and another died of cerebral infarction. Complete thrombosis of the peri-stent false lumen was achieved in 36 (83.7%) patients. Overall survival, freedom from aortic events, and freedom from aortic reintervention were 83.5%, 37.2%, and 42.2% at 5 years, respectively. Survival rates of the patients with or without aortic events were 75.0% and 95.8% at 5 years (Log-rank, p = 0.22). Late aortic events occurred in 19 (44.2%) patients including distal stent graft-induced new entry, type Ib endoleak, and false lumen dilation. The ratio of the stent graft diameter to the preoperative short axis diameter of the true lumen (hazard ratio, 1.90; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-3.59), and the maximal diameter of a postdissection aneurysm (1.07; 1.01-1.12) were the significant multivariate risk predictors of late aortic events. CONCLUSIONS: Late aortic events occurr fairly frequently, and new strategies need to be explored to enhance the effectiveness of this procedure in the future.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Perigraft seroma is a persistent and sterile fluid confined within a fibrous pseudomembrane surrounding a graft that develops after graft replacement. Development of perigraft seroma is an uncommon complication that occurs after the surgical repair of the thoracic aorta using woven polyester grafts. mechanism underlying perigraft seroma formation remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we describe the case of 77-year-old man who underwent repeat sternotomy for the treatment of large perigraft seroma 1 year after ascending aorta replacement for acute type A dissection. After removing a cloudy yellow fluid, we covered the prosthetic graft with fibrin glue and wrapped it with a new graft. Bacterial culture and laboratory examination of the fluid confirmed the final diagnosis of perigraft seroma, and there was no evidence of recurrence. The area in which fluid accumulated around the graft shrunk 1 year after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The cause of a expanding perigraft after repair of the thoracic aorta remains unknown. Physicians should be aware that chronic expanding mediastinal seroma with Dacron grafts is one of the rare postoperative complications of thoracic aortic surgery. Applying fibrin glue to the graft surface might effectively prevent the recurrence of perigraft seroma.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The impact of psoas muscle area on overall survival is unknown for older patients undergoing elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 105 patients aged 75 years or more who underwent elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair for descending thoracic aortic aneurysm between January 2010 and December 2019. Psoas muscle area was measured at the L3 level with preoperative computed tomography and adjusted by height squared to derive psoas muscle mass index. The patients were stratified into two groups, sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia. sarcopenia was defined as a psoas muscle mass index less than 5.40 cm2/m2 for men and less than 3.56 cm2/m2 for women. The overall survival was compared with the age- and sex-matched general population using the one-sample log rank test. The propensity score adjusted Cox proportional hazards model was applied to determine the hazard ratio for all-cause mortality. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients died during the follow-up period (median, 3 years). Thirty-eight patients (36%) were classified as sarcopenia. The 5-year overall survival rate was 46% (95% confidence interval, 29% to 73%) for sarcopenia and 84% (95% confidence interval, 74% to 94%) for nonsarcopenia. The overall survival was significantly lower in the sarcopenia group than in its matched general population (P = .004), whereas no statistically significant difference in overall survival was found between the nonsarcopenia group and its matched general population (P = .417). Sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 2.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 6.82; P = .045). CONCLUSIONS: Psoas muscle mass index may be a good predictor of mortality among older patients undergoing elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair for descending thoracic aortic aneurysm.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to determine the most appropriate timing for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of type B aortic dissection (TBAD) in terms of remodeling of the aorta. METHODS: A total of 41 patients who had undergone TEVAR for the treatment of aortic dissection were included in the present study. The patients were divided into two groups: those who had undergone TEVAR in the acute or subacute phase (group A) and those who had undergone TEVAR in the chronic phase (group B). The indications for TEVAR as the treatment of TBAD were the presence of aortic rupture or malperfusion of the aortic branches, a maximum aortic diameter of ≥40 mm on the initial diagnostic computed tomography scan, and/or expansion of the aorta of ≥5 mm within 3 months for acute and subacute TBAD. The indication was a maximum aortic diameter of ≥50 mm or expansion of the aorta of ≥5 mm within 1 year for chronic TBAD. The diameters of the aorta, true lumen, and false lumen were measured at the level of the most dilated part of the descending aorta (level M) and at the diaphragm (level D) on the computed tomography scan obtained before TEVAR and at the 2-year follow-up examination. RESULTS: The median interval between TEVAR and the onset of TBAD was 0.2 month (interquartile range, 0.03-0.7 month) in group A (n = 21) and 32 months (interquartile range, 4.7-35.2 months) in group B (n = 20). Except for the aortic diameter at level D in group B, favorable remodeling was obtained at both levels in both groups. The diameter change ratio of the aorta at level D was significantly greater in group A than in group B (P = .02). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the interval for a significant decrease in the aortic diameter at level D yielded 4.2 months as the optimal threshold for performing TEVAR (area under the curve, 0.859; 95% confidence interval, 0.7-1.0). CONCLUSIONS: TEVAR for TBAD will result in favorable outcomes, irrespective of the timing of the procedure. However, it might be more effective to perform TEVAR within 4.2 months of the onset of TBAD, provided that the TEVAR procedure can be performed safely.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The relevance of aortic dissection chronicity to the development of stent graft-induced new entry (SINE) is unknown. METHODS: This study enrolled 69 patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic aortic dissection from January 2006 to December 2017 and were followed up for ≥6 months. Their medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were stratified according to TEVAR timing into an early group (≤6 months from the onset of aortic dissection) and a late group (>6 months after the onset). The incidence of SINE as well as the interval between TEVAR and the development of SINE was compared between these groups. RESULTS: During the follow-up period, SINE occurred in 12% (3/26) and 35% (15/43) of patients in the early and late groups, respectively (P = .029). The interval between TEVAR and SINE development was significantly longer in the late group than the early group (median, 92 days vs 1144 days, respectively; P = .002). According to the multivariate analysis results, the late group (hazard ratio, 3.667; 95% confidence interval, 1.037-12.968; P = .044) and the distal oversizing ratio (hazard ratio, 1.492; 95% confidence interval, 1.071-2.080; P = .018) were the independent predictors for SINE development. CONCLUSIONS: TEVAR should be performed in the early period of the chronic phase to prevent SINE. Close and lifelong follow-up is mandatory for patients who undergo TEVAR >6 months after onset because SINE can develop several years after TEVAR in those patients.

RESUMEN

CASE: Making a precise diagnosis of type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) presenting with atypical symptoms might be challenging for clinicians. Misdiagnosis and misuse of thrombolytic therapy can have devastating consequences. OUTCOME: Herein, we report a case of painless type A AAD complicated by transient leg paresthesia, which was successfully treated with surgery. On admission, sudden onset of right leg numbness and muscle weakness was the only clue toward the correct final diagnosis. CONCLUSION: When patients present with vague neurological symptoms, physicians should not rule out the possibility of AAD until proven otherwise.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is defined as dilatation exceeding 1.5 times the width of the normal adjacent coronary artery segments. CAA usually causes few symptoms, and rupture is rare, but can be lethal due to cardiac tamponade when it does occur. CASE PRESENTATION: A 79-year-old woman presented with presyncope and back pain. Emergency surgery was performed based on a diagnosis of cardiac tamponade due to either rupture of coronary arteriovenous fistula or CAA. At surgery, a rupture site was located on the wall of the giant CAA, with a diameter of 55 mm, originating from the ostium of the right coronary artery. Suture closure of the inflow and outflow of the aneurysm was performed, and the aneurysmal cavity was obliterated by multiple sutures. The patient made an uneventful recovery and was discharged from hospital on postoperative day 13. CONCLUSION: On the basis of this case, we propose considering rupture of a CAA as one of the causes of cardiac tamponade.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for retrograde type A aortic dissection (r-TAAD) with the entry tear in the descending aorta has not been clarified. METHODS: The medical records of 31 patients who underwent TEVAR for r-TAAD at three institutions between May 1997 and January 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients (30 men and 1 woman) was 64 ± 11 years. The entry tear was located in the descending thoracic aorta in all patients. Seven patients (23%) had dissection-related complications. The false lumen of the ascending aorta was patent in 13 patients (42%) and thrombosed in 18 (58%). The maximum diameter of the ascending aorta was 45 ± 4 mm. TEVAR was performed in the acute phase in 24 patients (77%) and in the subacute phase in 7 (23%). Only one patient (3%) died of aortic rupture within 30 days after TEVAR. Early aorta-related adverse events were observed in eight patients (26%), of whom five underwent additional interventions. The mean follow-up period was 99 ± 69 months. There were no late aorta-related deaths, although five patients died of other causes during follow-up. Overall survival rates at 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years were 97%, 93%, and 80%, respectively. Late aorta-related adverse events were observed in seven patients (23%), of whom five underwent additional interventions. Aorta-related event-free survival rates at 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years were 58%, 58%, and 51%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: TEVAR for r-TAAD seems promising in terms of survival. However, the incidence of postoperative aorta-related adverse events is not negligible, so careful selection of patients is important. In addition, close follow-up is mandatory after TEVAR to avoid catastrophic consequences.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Conventional indices such as prosthetic valve effective orifice area (EOA) or transvalvular pressure gradients (TPG) may be unreliable in predicting left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling after aortic valve replacement (AVR). We hypothesized that the global LV afterload, including valvular and arterial impedance, could influence LV reverse remodeling after AVR. METHODS: Twenty-three consecutive aortic-stenosis patients (mean age, 76 ± 6.4 years) underwent isolated AVR using contemporary externally wrapped pericardial valves (19 mm, 10 patients; 21 mm 11; 23 mm, 2). Valvuloarterial impedance (Zva), a marker of global LV afterload, was measured on serial echocardiography in addition to indexed EOA, energy loss index (ELI), mean TPG, and stroke work loss. LV mass regression was used as a parameter of LV reverse remodeling. RESULTS: The Zva significantly decreased after AVR (5.05 ± 1.7 mmHg/mL/m2 , pre-operatively; 3.12 ± 1.0, postoperatively; 3.13 ± 0.89, at last follow-up) in parallel with increased indexed EOA (0.46 ± 0.13 cm2 /m2 ; 1.13 ± 0.24; 0.96 ± 0.19), ELI (0.55 ± 0.21 cm2 /m2 ; 1.74 ± 0.52; 1.47 ± 0.42), and decreased mean TPG (50.2 ± 19.6 mmHg; 11.1 ± 5.4; 14.7 ± 5.8). The stroke work loss also decreased (26.3 ± 8.5 %; 8.65 ± 4.0; 9.36 ± 3.4). The Zva at last follow-up was significantly correlated with LV mass regression (correlation coefficient, r = - 0.48; P = 0.002), and was a significant predictor of LV reverse remodeling on multiple regression analysis (adjusted odds ratio, -0.43; 95% confidence interval, -31.3 to -0.67, P = 0.042), while indexed EOA, ELI, mean TPG, or systemic arterial compliance were not. CONCLUSIONS: The postoperative Zva was significantly associated with LV mass regression after AVR. Maintaining low global LV afterload following AVR may enhance LV reverse remodeling.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of our selective antegrade brain perfusion (SABP) strategy, which is characterized by moderate hypothermic and low-pressure management under pH-stat using a completely closed cardiopulmonary bypass circuit with a single centrifugal pump. METHODS: Forty-nine consecutive patients (median age, 74) underwent total aortic arch replacement using a 4-branched graft. SABP was conducted with individual cannulation in all arch vessels. The SABP flow rate was monitored, and the flow rates of each arch vessel were also measured in patients with available data. RESULTS: One patient died of cerebral infarction, and 7 had transient neurological deficits without apparent findings on postoperative imaging studies and without residual sequels at hospital discharge. The operation, cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac arrest, circulatory arrest and SABP times were 327 min (interquartile range, 292-381), 211 (184-247), 107 (84.8-138.3), 54.0 (48-68) and 137 (114-158), respectively. The total flow of the SABP was 18.1 ml/kg/min (15.7-20.9). The flow rates of the brachiocephalic, the left carotid and the left subclavian arteries were 9.5 ml/kg/min (7.7-11.5), 4.2 (2.8-5.7) and 4.5 (3.7-5.5), respectively. Only the flow rate of the brachiocephalic artery was significantly correlated with the total SABP flow rate (Spearman rank correlation coefficient, r = 0.58, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The moderate hypothermic, high-flow, low-pressure SABP strategy with pH-stat management can be applied in adult aortic surgery; however, the feasibility and effectiveness of this concept need further evaluation in a prospective controlled study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine risk predictors for recurrent tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following tricuspid valve annuloplasty during mitral valve surgery. METHODS: Ninety-eight consecutive patients underwent tricuspid valve annuloplasty concomitant with mitral valve repair (71 patients), replacement (16 patients), or other procedures over a 10-year period. Fifty-seven patients underwent surgery with a flexible band and 41 with a rigid ring. RESULTS: Late TR progression (≥2/4) occurred in eight (14.0%) of flexible band patients, and in nine (22.0%) rigid ring patients. Multivariate analysis did not identify the superiority of one annuloplasty device over the other to prevent recurrent TR. Multivariate risk predictors of late TR progression were late atrial fibrillation (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.78; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-12.0), and recurrent mitral regurgitation; HR; 4.46; 95%CI; 1.52-13.1). Freedom from TR progression at 5 years was 89.2% in atrial fibrillation-free patients compared to 56.8% in those with atrial fibrillation (log-rank, P = 0.018), and 89.8% in mitral regurgitation-free patients compared to 55.3% in those with recurrent mitral regurgitation (log-rank, P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: A durable mitral valve repair and preservation of sinus rhythm are the keys to preventing late TR progression.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of the selective vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist tolvaptan in postoperative fluid management after cardiovascular surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SETTING: A tertiary care center. PARTICIPANTS: The study comprised 99 patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. INTERVENTIONS: Oral tolvaptan was administered after surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Fifty-one patients treated with tolvaptan were compared with 48 patients treated with intravenous diuretics. Urine volume, the time interval until the patients' body weight returned to the preoperative value, and the length of oxygen dependency after extubation were assessed as surrogate markers for resolution of fluid overload. Urine output on postoperative days 1 and 2 was significantly higher in the tolvaptan-treated patients (29.2 v 20.1 mL/kg/day, p = 0.001; 43.0 v 27.4 mL/kg/day, p<0.001, respectively). Postoperative body weight returned to baseline in 49 tolvaptan-treated patients compared with 33 patients treated with intravenous diuretics (96.1% v 68.8%, p<0.001). Among those with successful body weight reduction, the time interval was shorter in the tolvaptan-treated patients (5 v 7 days, p = 0.006). The length of oxygen dependency after extubation also was shorter in the tolvaptan-treated patients (2 v 3 days, p = 0.006). The urine osmolarity reduction rate before and 4 hours after the first dose of tolvaptan emerged as a significant predictor of its efficacy with a cutoff point of 33.7%, sensitivity of 0.73, and specificity of 0.67 (p = 0.030). CONCLUSION: Tolvaptan facilitated early improvement of postoperative fluid overload after cardiovascular surgery.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a rare complication associated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Although TAAD can result in catastrophic outcomes, the pathology of the condition has not been thoroughly clarified yet. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed details from the medical records of 546 patients with diseases of the thoracic aorta (thoracic aortic aneurysm, n = 362; aortic dissection, n = 178; and fistula between the descending thoracic aorta and esophagus, n = 6) who underwent TEVAR in five hospitals from May 1997 through February 2015 to identify patients in whom TAAD developed during or after TEVAR. RESULTS: TEVAR-associated TAAD developed in 12 patients (2.2%). Pathologies originally treated with TEVAR were aortic dissection in 10 patients (83%) and true thoracic aortic aneurysm in 2 (17%). Type A aortic dissection developed during hospitalization in 4 patients (33%), within 1 year in 5 (42%), and more than 1 year later in 3 (25%). The entry tear was located in the ascending aorta or the aortic arch away from the edges of stent grafts in 8 patients (67%), whereas it was found just at the proximal edges of stent grafts in 4 patients (33%). Nine patients underwent ascending aortic replacement with or without concomitant aortic arch replacement, and 3 patients underwent medical management. Overall, 2 patients (17%) died during hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: Type A aortic dissection can develop during TEVAR or even years after TEVAR. Careful operative procedures and follow-up should be mandatory for patients with aortic dissection as TAAD seems to occur more frequently among these patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate early and long-term outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome preoperatively requiring intraaortic balloon pump support who underwent emergency off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. METHODS: One hundred and fifteen patients on preoperative intraaortic balloon pump receiving emergency off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery over an 11-year period were evaluated. The median age was 71 years (range, 33 to 87). Acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina were present in 54 patients (47.0%) and 61 patients (53.0%), respectively. Left main disease and triple-vessel disease without left main involvement were present in 74 patients (64.3%) and 33 patients (28.7%), respectively. RESULTS: There were 3 perioperative deaths. Complete surgical revascularization was accomplished in 82 patients (71.3%), and in situ internal thoracic artery graft was used in 96 (83.5%). Late survival, freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and freedom from repeat revascularization rates at 5 years were 83.3%, 73.5%, and 84.2%, respectively. The Cox multivariate prognostic predictors of total mortality were preoperative renal impairment (hazard ratio [HR] 7.90; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.06 to 20.4) and low ejection fraction (HR 0.94, 95% CI: 0.88 to 0.99). The multivariate risk predictors of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were preoperative renal impairment (HR 2.68, 95% CI: 1.00 to 7.19) and peripheral vascular disease (HR 2.81, 95% CI: 1.05 to 7.51), and complete revascularization was protective (HR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.81). The multivariate risk factor of repeat revascularization was previous percutaneous coronary intervention (HR 3.26, 95% CI: 1.14 to 9.33), and complete surgical revascularization was also protective (HR 0.30, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.85). CONCLUSIONS: Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a feasible option for patients requiring preoperative intraaortic balloon pump support.

RESUMEN

Three patients underwent left upper lobectomy with arterioplasty of left pulmonary artery trunk for lung cancer. For pulmonary arterioplasty, wide wedge resection and patch plasty with autologous pericardium was performed. No in-hospital death or no postoperative complications due to arterioplasty was encountered. The mean follow-up period was 3.6 years and long-term patency of the reconstructed pulmonary artery was confirmed by computed tomography in all patients.

RESUMEN

A 62-year-old man was admitted to a local hospital for cervical abscess. He was given an antibiotic, but his symptoms worsened. Computed tomographic cervical and chest scan 6 days after hospitalization revealed that left cervical abscess extended to the mediastinum. He was transferred to our hospital following a diagnosis of descending necrotizing mediastinitis. Cervical and left transthoracic drainage through a left cervical incision and a left antero-axillary thoracotomy were performed on hospital day 1. On hospital day 2, chest radiograph revealed enlargement of the superior mediastinal shadow. Mediastinoscopic drainage was performed for the abscess in the paratracheal space on hospital day 3. Two mediastinal drainage tubes were placed in the upper and middle mediastinal space using mediastioscopy. Postoperatively, he required additional right transthoracic drainage by chest tube for pleural effusion on hospital day 5. Then his clinical and radiological findings gradually improved, and he was discharged from hospital day 37.

RESUMEN

We report a rare case of mediastinal desmoid tumor in a 17-year-old man. The patient was a 17-year old man who had underwent surgery for mediastinal tumor at our hospital 2 years before. The tumor was diagnosed as a solitary fibrous tumor of the mediastinum. After 2 years, chest computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) showed a mass at the previously resected site. Surgery was performed again under the diagnosis of recurrent tumor. The tumor densely adhered to the superior vena cava, right innominate vein, pericardium, and the right lung. The tumor was completely resected with the aid of the partial extracorporeal circulation. Finally, both previously resected tumor and the recurrent tumor were diagnosed pathologically as desmoid tumors.

RESUMEN

A 30-year-old man who had undergone repair for coarctation of the thoracic aorta at age 7 and mitral valve annuloplasty at age 9 was admitted for shortness of breath and claudication of both lower legs. The pre-operative angiogram showed severe aortic regurgitation, moderate coarctation of the thoracic aorta beyond the left subclavian artery, a degree of hypoplasia of the infrarenal abdominal aorta, and total occlusion of both external iliac arteries. Aortic valve replacement, ascending-to-bilateral femoral arterial bypass, and end expanded polytetra fluoro ethylene (ePTFE) graft-to-descending aorta bypass was performed via a median sternotomy. Ascending-to-descending aortic bypass via the posterior pericardium allows simultaneous intracardiac repair or an alternative approach for the patient with complex coarctation.

RESUMEN

Papillary muscle rupture is rare but catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction. We report a 91-year-old woman who underwent successful management of papillary muscle rupture following acute myocardial infarction. She was transferred to our hospital because of severe pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock. Echocardiography revealed severe mitral valve regurgitation due to total rupture of anterolateral papillary muscle. After intubation, intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP) and percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) insertion, mitral valve replacement was successfully performed. She was discharged 134 days after operation. In papillary muscle rupture deteriorating hemodynamics, early diagnosis and immediate cardiopulmonary support are required before surgical treatment. She was, to the best of our knowledge, the oldest among the reported cases of successful surgical treatment of papillary muscle rupture in Japan.
