Distal Aortic Progression After Hemi- Zones 1-3 Arch Replacement in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection
CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in long-term survival, distal aorta growth, or reoperation rate for distal aortic aneurysm after Hemiarch or Zones 1-3 arch replacement. Patient-specific arch replacement strategies may be utilized rather than defaulting to aggressive arch replacement for all ATAAD patients.PMID:36368349 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.10.035

Diaphragm Preservation Reduces Respiratory Failure after Extent I Thoraco-Abdominal Aneurysm Repair.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing extent I TAAA repair, TCS is associated with decreased need for tracheostomy. PMID: 33359719 [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]

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 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 Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Patients 50 Years Old and  Younger.
CONCLUSIONS: Early outcomes of open TAAA repair were excellent for patients 50 years old or younger, despite the fact that these patients typically required extensive repairs. PMID: 27938888 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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]

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 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]
