We describe a case of retrograde acute type A aortic dissection approached by a hybrid, staged approach consisting of a zone 2 arch replacement and completion thoracic endovascular aortic repair procedure combined with distal balloon-assisted stent graft dilatation to prevent retrograde false lumen flow. This technique may be an alternative and more complete when compared with a frozen elephant trunk procedure at onset. Additionally, favorable remodeling of the entire thoracic aorta is observed.

- - The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of using an upper-extremity approach for secondary access during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to the traditional lower-extremity method, as it may reduce significant bleeding risks.
- - Conducted between November 2022 and November 2023 in the Netherlands, the TAVI XS trial involved 238 patients with severe aortic stenosis, who were randomly assigned to either the upper or lower access groups.
- - Results showed that the upper-extremity approach had a lower incidence of clinically relevant bleeding (4.2% vs. 13.4% for the lower extremity), suggesting it could be a safer option for patients undergoing
Article Synopsis
- A retrospective cohort study in the Netherlands examined differences between male and female patients with ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA) regarding their aneurysm growth and clinical outcomes.
- The study included 1,858 adult patients, finding that women were typically older at diagnosis and had different patterns of aneurysm involvement compared to men, with women more commonly affected in the tubular area and men in the sinuses.
- Results showed that women experienced faster growth in the tubular ascending segment, leading to lower 10-year survival rates and a higher incidence of type A dissections compared to men.
Objective: With an aging population and advancements in imaging, recurrence of thoracic aortic dissection is becoming more common.
Methods: All patients enrolled in the International Registry of Aortic Dissection from 1996 to 2023 with type A and type B acute aortic dissection were identified. Among them, initial dissection and recurrent dissection were discerned.
