Objective: To evaluate the early and mid-term outcomes of open repair in patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
Methods: This was a retrospective single center study. Data were retrospectively collected and analyzed for consecutive patients undergoing open TAAA repair (TAAAR) after TEVAR from November 2016 to June 2021.
Comparison of different surgical approaches for treating aortic graft infections.
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
February 2024
Background: There is still no guideline or consensus on the treatment of aortic graft infection. This study reported and compared conservative and surgical treatment and different surgical methods for aortic graft infection.
Methods: Data from aortic graft infections treated at our institution between February 2017 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest in Median Sternotomy Hemorrhage During Redo Aortic Surgery.
Braz J Cardiovasc Surg
October 2023
Introduction: This study summarizes the clinical data of patients who developed sternotomy hemorrhage during redo aortic surgery and analyzes the clinical experience of using hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who developed sternotomy hemorrhage during redo aortic surgery from May 2018 to August 2021. General anesthesia with single-lumen tracheal intubation was used.
Background: This study investigated the impact of coronary angiography on outcomes of emergency operation in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients who were initially misdiagnosed as an acute coronary syndrome.
Methods: From October 2016 to April 2019, 129 patients underwent emergency operation for ATAAD in our institution, including 21 patients (16.3%, coronary angiography group) who received preoperative coronary angiography without knowledge of the ATAAD, and the rest 108 did not (Non-coronary angiography group).
A Clinical Analysis of Thirty-Five Patients Undergoing Aortic Reoperation.
Braz J Cardiovasc Surg
May 2022
Introduction: At present, there are few reports regarding the issue of aortic reoperation due to its complexity and high risk and individual differences among patients.
Methods: From November 2016 to December 2017, the data from 35 cases of aortic reoperation at our institution, out of 212 consecutive aortic repairs, were reviewed. We retrospectively summarized and analyzed their surgical indications, operative data, time interval from previous aortic repair, and outcomes.
The release of paracrine factors from endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) sheet is a central mechanism of tissue repair. The purpose of this study was to constuct the rat bone marrow derived-endothelial progenitor cell (BM-EPCs) sheet and investigate invest the role of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)/CXCR4 axis in the biological function of BM-EPCs sheet. BM-EPC cells were identified by the cell-surface markers-CD34/CD133/VE-cadherin/KDR using flow cytometry and dual affinity for acLDL and UEA-1.

Methods: Seventy-six patients were randomized into two groups, receiving aprotinin (1 x 10(6) Kallikrein-inactivating units [KIU] loading dose before surgery and 5 x 10(5) KIU/h during surgery, gross dose: 2.
Objective: Tranexamic acid (TA) reduces blood loss in coronary artery surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The present prospective study was designed to investigate its hemostatic effect in off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB).
Method: Seventy-six patients undergoing elective OPCAB were randomized into two groups, received TA (0.
