ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Type Ia endoleaks are common after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, the repair of type Ia endoleaks involving the distal arch is challenging because of the presence of the interventional endografts, potential damage to the aortic arch vessels, and the location and size of the aneurysmal body. We retrospectively reviewed our experience of the surgical treatment of type Ia endoleaks with distal arch involvement using left subclavian artery (LSCA)-left common carotid artery (LCCA) transposition with a stented elephant trunk.METHODS:
Sixteen patients (male = 16; mean age, 47 ± 9 years, range 31-63 years) with type Ia endoleaks involving the distal arch underwent LSCA-LCCA transposition with a stented elephant trunk from July 2010 to July 2018. TEVAR failure occurred in 12 patients, re-TEVAR was performed in two patients, hybrid aortic arch repair in one patient, and the chimney technique in one patient.RESULTS:
There were no in-hospital deaths. Fourteen patients required mechanical ventilation for <24 h and one for <48 h. One patient required reintubation after mechanical ventilation for 19 h and continuous renal replacement therapy because of renal failure. One patient received pericardial drainage, and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury occurred in one patient. Three patients died during follow-up.CONCLUSIONS:
The LSCA-LCCA transposition with a stented elephant trunk can produce satisfactory results in patients with a type Ia endoleak involving the distal arch. Using this technique, it is possible to exclude the aneurysm sac distal to the LCCA origin and seclude the failed interventional endograft. These encouraging outcomes suggested that this technique could be a suitable surgical treatment for this type of lesion.
