FOR AORTIC DISSECTING ANEURYSMS
Nguyen Thai An, M.D
Chief, Department of Intensive
Care and Cardiac Surgery,
Cho Ray Hospital
Cho Ray hospital: in Ho Chi Minh,
South of Vietnam
- 1000 cases /year
Started TEVAR in 2012
Background
• Aortic disease : 1/10000
• Complex: CAD
• Extended: from root to bifurcation
76 yo man
Ascending aorta=43mm
AIMS OF STUDY
• ESTIMATE the results of open surgery
and TEVAR in extensive aortic
dissecting aneurysm
STUDY METHOD
•
•
•
•
Cohort study
Single center
2013-2016
Extensive diseaes: Ascending
Aneurysm/dissection + arch and
descending aneurysm/ dissection
• Staged or hybrid operations
PROCEDURES
• Open suregry: ascending replacement
+ total debranching, ascending and
total arch replacement + elephant trunk
or not
• TEVAR retrogradely
• FOLLOW-UP : CT scan 3,6,12 months
post-op
RESULTS

•
•
N= 16
M:F= 13:3
Average of age: 60.3 (40-76)
Hypertension: 16
Diabetes Melitus: 1
CAD: 1
Past TEVAR: 1
RESULTS
•
•
•
•
•
Asc repl. + total debr. : 2
Asc and arch repl. : 14
CABG: 1
Staged: 2
Average of stent number: 2
RESULTS
• 30-DAY mort. : 1/16= 5.88%
• Paraplegia: 0
• Bleeding: 0
RESULTS: FOLOW-UP
• Thrombosis of dissected descending
aorta: 100%
• Follow-up (1-36mo): no endoleak, 1
death (2nd year)
• Survival (36mo):14/15= 93,33%
Why not frozen elephant trunk?
post TEVAR-Acute type A
dissection

Female
45yo
Acute type B dissection
Left pleural effusion,
Partial ischemia of left kidney
TEVARs: descending thoracic, celiac
and SMA debranching+stent graft
First CT scan
Post TEVARs
New dissection type A
Conclusion
• Ascending aorta surgical replacement
combined with stented elephant trunk
has good mid- term outcomes
