Outcomes of long versus short stent cronus hybrid prosthesis in type A aortic dissection: A single centre experience.

Objectives: The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique has become an important tool in the treatment of acute type A aortic dissection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long FET on spinal cord injury (SCI) and distal aortic remodeling after acute type A aortic dissection based on clinical and radiological outcomes.

Methods: From January 2018 to November 2019, 158 patients (mean age 51.

Integrated analysis of immunocyte infiltration and differential gene expression in tricuspid aortic valve-associated thoracic aortic aneurysms.

Background: Progressive dilatation is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs). Studies have shown that the development and progression of TAAs are closely related to immune regulatory pathways and genes. Therefore, it is important to understand the immune regulatory mechanisms and biomarkers of TAA dilatation.

"Aorta-clamp" technique for surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection-5 min circulatory arrest at 30 °C.

Background: Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), which causes perioperative complications, is the foundation of surgical treatment for acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD). To extensively replace the dissected aorta and avoid the negative impacts of HCA, we developed an "aorta-clamp" technique and examined its efficacy in repairing AAAD.

Methods: From November 2014 to August 2016, we recruited 59 consecutive patients (51.

Reoperation for ascending aorta aneurysm after double valve replacement in a Takayasu's aortitis patient: a case report.

Takayasu's aortitis (TA) is a complicated disease. Surgical treatment, especially reoperation, can be difficult. Here, we report a case of reoperation for TA, which presented with three major complications (aortic aneurysm, valve detachment, and fistula) 3 years after surgical treatment.
