ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To observe the short-term efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) using a single left common carotid artery chimney stent combined with a Castor single-branched stent-graft (SC-TEVAR) in the treatment of zone 2 (Z2) aortic diseases. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
To conduct a retrospective analysis of 20 patients with Z2 aortic diseases who were treated in our department from June 2021 to April 2022. The lesions included true aortic degenerative aneurysms with diameter ≥5.0 cm and penetrating aortic ulcers with depth >1.0 cm or basal width >2.0 cm. All 20 patients accepted the SC-TEVAR treatment, which was a new hybrid method to assure the flow of the left common carotid artery (LCCA) and left subclavian artery (LSA). This method was defined as a concomitant chimney stent for LCCA and a Castor single-branched stent graft for the aorta and LSA. The baseline data and intraoperative data were collected to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this method. The patency of the target blood vessel and any associated complications were evaluated at 1 and 6 months postoperatively, to analyze the safety and efficacy of this new method.RESULTS:
After discharge from the hospital, all patients were followed up by a specific follow-up team. At 6 monthly follow-up period, there were no cardiac events, stroke, hemiplegia, type I endoleak, type II endoleak, proximal stent graft-induced new entries, distal stent graft-induced new entries, wound infection, or bleeding. Only 1 patient developed an inguinal wound hematoma and got conservative treatment. Importantly, no patients developed stenosis or occlusion of the LCCA or LSA. The patency of branched arteries was 100%. The technical success rate was 90%.CONCLUSION:
SC-TEVAR appears to be a new and relatively simple, safe, and effective treatment for Z2 aortic diseases. CLINICAL IMPACT This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. A total of 20 patients with zone 2 aortic diseases accepted a new hybrid surgical method named SC-TEVAR. This method was not complicated and could be finished with only 3 peripheral artery exposure. The result showed no mortality, 100% patency of the branch artery, and 90% of technical success in 6 months of follow-up time. SC-TEVAR showed a satisfactory result in this retrospective study and could be promoted as an easy method to treat zone 2 aortic diseases.
