Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the morphological characteristics and operative outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) in patients with aortic arch variants.
Methods: Of 616 patients with ATAAD, 97 (15.7%) had aortic arch variants, including bovine aortic arch (BAA, n = 66), isolated left vertebral artery (ILVA, n = 25), and aberrant subclavian artery (ASA, n = 6). The characteristics and outcomes were compared between the normal branching group (control, n = 519) and the total/individual arch variant groups.
Results: Compared to the control group, arch entry was more prevalent in the BAA (18.5% vs. 31.8%) and ILVA groups (44%) (both, P < 0.05), and right common carotid arterial occlusion was less common in the arch variant group (6.7% vs. 0%, P = 0.017). The in-hospital mortality (9.2% vs. 9.3%), new-onset stroke (7.3% vs. 7.2%), and 5-year survival (81.7% vs. 78.8%) did not differ markedly between the control and arch variant groups. Arch repair was performed in 28.9% (28/97) of the arch variant group using 3-4 vessel antegrade cerebral perfusion, with 3.8% in-hospital mortality and a 15.4% stroke rate, which were comparable to those of the control group.
Conclusions: Aortic arch variants may influence tear location and involvement of the supra-arch vessels but may not affect postoperative outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Surgery Today is the official journal of the Japan Surgical Society. The main purpose of the journal is to provide a place for the publication of high-quality papers documenting recent advances and new developments in all fields of surgery, both clinical and experimental. The journal welcomes original papers, review articles, and short communications, as well as short technical reports("How to do it").
The "How to do it" section will includes short articles on methods or techniques recommended for practical surgery. Papers submitted to the journal are reviewed by an international editorial board. Field of interest: All fields of surgery.
