Probability of Uneventful Recovery after Elective Aortic Root Replacement for Aortic Aneurysm.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides novel information regarding the probability of uneventful recovery while confirming low in-hospital mortality and stroke rates after elective aortic root replacement for aortic aneurysm. Importantly, uneventful recovery ensures excellent long-term survival. PMID: 32246934 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aortic Root Replacement in Octogenarians Offers Acceptable Perioperative and Late Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Octogenarians can safely undergo aortic root replacement with moderately worse but acceptable perioperative mortality and late survival. Further studies are necessary to determine which subset of octogenarians are at the highest operative risk and may benefit from a conservative approach.

Results of Open Surgical Repair in Patients With Marfan Syndrome and Distal Aortic Dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: In these patients with MFS with aortic dissection, open TAAA repair incurred reasonable operative risk, but improvements are needed to reduce rates of renal failure. Extent II TAAA repair does not appear to increase operative risk in patients with MFS. PMID: 26876340 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Open repair of descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite improvement, open repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms continues to be associated with a considerable risk of operative death and perioperative complications. The use of the cerebrospinal fluid drain is associated with better outcomes. PMID: 32504596 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Operative Outcomes After Open Repair of Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms in the Era of Endovascular Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In the era of endovascular repair of DTAAs, operative death and morbidity outcomes for open repairs are observed to be low. In addition to good long-term survival rates, open repairs are durable, as evidenced by low reintervention rates. PMID: 24636705 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of Open Repair for Chronic Descending Thoracic Aortic Dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: Open repairs of chronic descending thoracic aortic aneurysm dissections can be performed with respectable morbidity and mortality. Neurologic deficit remains low with the use of adjuncts, and early deaths are directly related to preoperative renal status. Reintervention on the involved aortic segment is low. These results allow comparisons with endovascular repair for chronic aortic dissection. PMID: 25617229 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Moderate Versus Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest for Elective Aortic Transverse Hemiarch Reconstruction.
CONCLUSIONS: MHCA with antegrade cerebral perfusion yields excellent and equivalent outcomes to DHCA for elective aortic hemiarch reconstruction. MHCA significantly improves intraoperative times and, importantly, reduces transfusion requirements compared with DHCA with a retrograde cerebral perfusion 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.

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. PMID: 26277557 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Branched Endovascular Therapy of the Distal Aortic Arch: Preliminary Results of the Feasibility Multicenter Trial of the Gore Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis.
CONCLUSIONS: Total endovascular repair of distal zone 2 arch aortic aneurysms can be achieved with a novel branched arch endograft. Future studies will evaluate the feasibility of this approach for aneurysms encompassing the brachiocephalic trunk and left carotid artery. PMID: 27262912 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Open Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Patients 50 Years Old and  Younger.

Hemiarch Reconstruction Vs Clamped Aortic Anastomosis for Concomitant Ascending Aortic Aneurysm.
CONCLUSIONS: Hemiarch replacement using DHCA with RCP does not increase the risk of operative complications compared to a normothermic, clamped-distal aortic anastomosis, and therefore its use should not be limited when planning complex multi-procedural reconstructions during elective ascending thoracic aortic replacement with concomitant cardiac surgery.

Early Clinical Outcomes of Hybrid Arch Frozen Elephant Trunk Repair with the Thoraflex Hybrid Graft.
CONCLUSIONS: Hybrid aortic arch and FET repair with the Thoraflex hybrid graft appears to be associated with good clinical outcomes, despite being early in the learning curve with this graft. Further investigation with this device is warranted to establish its role within the variations of hybrid arch repair. PMID: 30291835 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Open Descending and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Repairs in Patients Younger than 50 Years Old.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients under 50 years old with D/TAAA have low surgical risks and open repairs can be performed with excellent short-term and durable long-term results. Open surgical repairs should be considered initially in younger patients requiring D/TAAA repairs. HTAD warrants closer postoperative surveillance. PMID: 31009630 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Early Outcomes after Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair with Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest.
CONCLUSIONS: Our extended experience with this technique confirms its safety and effectiveness when used on a routine basis. The rates of spinal cord injury and permanent renal failure are among the lowest reported in the literature. Particularly favorable outcomes were observed in younger patients and those undergoing elective operations. PMID: 31085168 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
