Objective To discusses the feasibilities of the hybrid surgical treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection. Methods From August 2011 to August 2015 a total of 14 cases of complex Stanford type B aortic dissection patients had been completed hybrid surgery. Among them 11 cases of men and 3 cases of women, aged 22 to 62, an average of 44±7.2 years old. Twelve cases with dissecting aneurysm involving the aortic arch and its three vascular branch. There were 2 cases of patients after TEVER, occurred new dissection or pseudoaneurysms, and had hybrid surgery by traditional thoracotomy; 3 cases involving carotid artery were received neck-neck hybrid surgery, and 7 cases involving left subclavian artery were received neck-lock hybrid surgery. Two cases of dissecting aneurysm involving the iliac artery to thrombosis that result in lower limb ischemia, then femoral to femoral artery hybrid surgery were performed. Results All the patients were successfully completed the operation of covered stent implantation and hybrid surgery. Intraoperative angiography showed that the position of the stent was accurate, the interlayer isolation was successful, there was no obvious leakage and displacement of the stent, the true lumen blood flow of the aortic dissection was returned to normal, and bypass blood and target blood vessels were unobstructed. Fourteen patients were followed-up for a period of 3 to 36 months, with an average of (24.0±8.2) months. In 1 month after operation, pleural effusion occurred in 1 case, there was 1 case of cerebral stroke in two days after surgery, incision hematoma occurred in 1 case in 10 days after surgery, and the other patients had no postoperative death and severe complications. All 14 patients were followed-up and returned to normal life. Conclusion The hybrid operations can increase the success rate of TEVAR in complex Stanford type B aortic dissection patients, and early and mid-term results are satisfactory.
腔内隔绝术(endovascular exclusion, EVE)最早用于治疗腹主动脉瘤,1994年Dake报道将其用于B型主动脉夹层(aortic dissection, AD)的治疗,国内自1998年开展。在EVE治疗AD的10余年历史中,内漏的预防和处理始终是一个备受关注的问题,现结合笔者的经验讨论AD术后内漏相关的问题。......
Objective To summarize the cl inical experience of vascular bypass grafting combined with endovascularaortic repair (EVAR) for aortic dilatation disease. Methods Between January 2008 and August 2011, 12 patients with aorticdilatation disease were treated with vascular bypass grafting combined with EVAR. Of 12 patients, 11 were male and 1 wasfemale, aged 47-81 years (mean, 65.9 years). All cases were diagnosed through computed tomography angiography (CTA),including 1 case of Stanford type A dissection, 5 cases of Stanford type B dissection, 4 cases of aortic arch aneurysm, and 2 casesof abdominal aortic aneurysm. Eight patients received neck artery bypass grafting before EVAR, and 4 patients underwentfemoral artery bypass grafting after EVAR. Results After operation, pulmonary infection occurred in 3 patients, renalinsufficiency in 2 patients, cerebral infarction in 1 case, decreased hemoglobin and platelets in 7 cases, and poor healing of groinwound in 1 case. Eleven patients were followed up 3-42 months, with an average of 18.6 months. In 1 case undergoing EVARof the thoracic and abdominal aorta, EVAR was performed again because new aneurysms formed at 6 months after operation,and the patient achieved good recovery after 3 months. CTA showed reduced false lumen, thrombosis formation, no endoleak,no deformation or displacement of stent, and anastomotic patency of artificial blood vessels in the other patients at 3, 6, and12 months after operation. Conclusion Vascular bypass grafting combined with EVAR can expand the indications forendovascular repair. It not only provides sufficient anchoring area, but also ensures the blood supply to vital organs, simplifiesthe surgical procedure, and reduces the difficulty of endovascular treatment.
ObjectiveTo investigate the improvement of visceral arterial blood supply after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection (AD). MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 35 patients with Stanford type B AD undergoing TEVAR in Mianyang Central Hospital from January 2013 to March 2014. There were 30 male and 5 female patients with their age of 45-82(62.5±10.0) years. Among the 140 main visceral arteries (celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, left and right renal arteries) of the 35 patients, blood supply of 79 arteries were compromised, including 36 arteries with stenosis and blood supply via the true lumen, 18 arteries with blood supply via both true and false lumen, 18 arteries with blood supply via the false lumen, and 7 arteries without blood supply. Improvement of blood supply of main visceral arteries was analyzed. ResultsAll the operations were successfully performed without in-hospital death. Operation time was 97.8 (68-147) minutes, length of ICU stay was 12-34 h, and length of hospital stay was 10-21 days. None of the patients had cerebral infarction, acute renal failure, AD rupture or stent migration after TEVAR. Blood supply of the compromised visceral arteries showed improvement in various degrees. ConclusionFor the treatment of Stanford type B AD, TEVAR can not only successfully block the rupture of AD, but also improve blood supply of main visceral arteries, avoid or reduce the complications resulting from compromised visceral arterial blood supply and visceral ischemia.
