Endovascular versus open elephant trunk completion for extensive aortic disease
Objectives: To compare the outcomes between patients undergoing endovascular (EEC) or open (OEC) approaches to second-stage elephant trunk completion (EC).Methods: From 1993 to 2010, 225 patients underwent second-stage EC (EEC, n = 92; OEC, n = 133). Propensity matching was performed for a fair comparison.Results: The EEC patients were older, more likely to have atrial fibrillation, and had a smaller proximal aorta. The 30-day mortality was 6.2% (6.5% EEC vs 6% OEC, P = .88). No difference was found in bleeding (8.8%), stroke (3%), renal failure (4%), or spinal cord injury (4%); however, the OEC patients required tra...

Repair of retrograde ascending dissection after descending stent grafting
Conclusions: Retrograde ascending dissection can present as an early or a late complication after descending stent grafting because of aortic instability or disease progression and has usually been associated with descending dissection or intramural hematoma. It is a life-threatening complication that can be managed safely with early recognition and rapid delivery of open or hybrid repair.

210 * contemporary approach of thoraco-abdominal aortic repair using moderate to deep hypothermia combined with target reconstruction of the adamkiewicz artery
Conclusion: Moderate to deep hypothermia combined with target reconstruction of the Adamkiewicz artery brings satisfactory outcomes in thoraco-abdominal aortic repair, especially for spinal cord protection.

293 * early and late outcome after surgery for acute type a aortic dissection in the elderly
Conclusion: Emergency surgery for ATAAD in elderly patients can be performed with acceptable early mortality and satisfactory intermediate survival. Preoperative acute neurological deficit predicts a worse outcome. Advanced age alone is not a contraindication to ATAAD repair.

Propensity Adjusted Analysis of Open and Endovascular Thoracic Aortic Repair for Chronic Type B Dissection: A Twenty-Year Evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: Intervention for CBAD can be performed with excellent results, either by an open or endovascular approach. The higher rate of treatment failure after TEVAR warrants modification of current device design or endovascular approach before broad application of this treatment strategy.

Evolution in the Management of Aberrant Subclavian Arteries and Related Kommerell Diverticulum
Conclusions Aberrant subclavian arteries and associated Kommerell diverticulum can be treated with acceptable rates of mortality and morbidity. The evolution toward an endovascular approach did not appear to affect late outcomes, suggesting that the choice of treatment should be based on patient-specific anatomy and associated comorbidities.

Recent thoraco-abdominal aortic repair outcomes using moderate-to-deep hypothermia combined with targeted reconstruction of the Adamkiewicz artery
CONCLUSIONS Moderate-to-deep hypothermia combined with targeted reconstruction of the AKA provided satisfactory outcomes with thoraco-abdominal aortic repair, particularly for spinal cord protection.

Outcomes of Open Repair of Mycotic Descending Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusions Open repair of mycotic descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms remains the gold standard of therapy. Aggressive intraoperative debridement with in situ prosthetic reconstruction permits a high rate of success in this very high risk cohort of patients. Lifelong antibiotic suppression therapy may prevent late prosthetic graft infection.

Routine presternotomy extracorporeal circulation for redo surgery.
We report our 10-year experience of performing presternotomy ECC for cardiac reoperation and the clinical results. Fifty-seven consecutive cardiac reoperations involving resternotomy were performed between January 2006 and December 2015. ECC was established prior to median sternotomy in all patients. Two patients sustained injury to the right ventricle during sternotomy. Eleven patients sustained injury to the mediastinal structures during dissection (right atrium in 3; superior vena cava in 2; inferior vena cava in 3; left internal thoracic artery in 1; and saphenous vein graft in 2 patients). Longer ECC time and greater ...

Single-Dose del Nido Cardioplegia Compared With Standard Cardioplegia During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting at a Veterans Affairs Hospital
Tex Heart Inst J. 2021 Jan 1;48(1):e196981. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-19-6981.ABSTRACTDel Nido cardioplegic solution (DNC), used chiefly in pediatric patients, rapidly induces prolonged cardiac arrest during cardiac surgery. To determine whether surgical outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting in a United States military veteran population differed when DNC was used instead of our standard Plegisol cardioplegia, we retrospectively reviewed 155 consecutive operations performed from July 2016 through June 2017. Del Nido cardioplegia was used to induce cardiac arrest in 70 patients, and Plegisol in 85. Compared with the Plegi...
