Objective: Evaluate sex differences in patients undergoing repair of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
Methods: Sex-stratified, single-center cohort study of patients undergoing ATAAD repair from 1997 to 2022. The primary outcome was aortic diameter at time of presentation with ATAAD.
Background: There is concern that left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to diagonal (D)-to left anterior descending artery (LAD) grafts may be more susceptible to failure compared with single LITA-LAD grafts.
Methods: Pooled individual patient data from 8 clinical trials with systematic graft imaging were analyzed to assess the incidence of sequential LITA-D-LAD vs single LITA-LAD grafts. Mixed-effects multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for patient characteristics and clustering within trials, was used.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of a commercial sponge diffuser versus a custom-made cannula and no CO2 in preventing neurological events after aortic valve replacement surgery.
- Three patient groups were compared based on their CO2 delivery method, with a focus on outcomes like stroke, dizziness, and mechanical ventilation duration.
- Results showed that the sponge diffuser group had a significantly lower duration of mechanical ventilation, decreased 30-day mortality, and fewer neurological events compared to the other methods.
Subclavian artery aneurysms are rare and can result in thromboembolism or rupture. We present the case of a 41-year-old man with a history of Marfan's syndrome and multiple previous operations, who presented with an enlarging asymptomatic 5.2 cm right subclavian artery aneurysm and was successfully treated with a hybrid surgical operation.
