Successful redo open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery in a patient with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: A case report.

Unlabelled: We report a case of a 63-year-old woman diagnosed with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) who survived two prophylactic surgeries for the dilatation of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. She initially developed acute type B aortic dissection at the age of 44 years. Five years later, her dissected descending aorta was enlarged to 54 mm; thus, the descending aorta was replaced as the first surgery.

Aortoesophageal fistula treated using one-stage total reconstruction: a case report from a high-volume center.

Background: Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but typically life-threatening condition. Although several treatment strategies exist, including conservative treatment with intraluminal stent graft and open thoracic aortic replacement, the overall outcome remains poor, ranging from 16 to 39%. Furthermore, esophageal reconstruction methods vary between hospitals.

Acute type A aortic dissection surgery in retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction patient.

Background: Retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction is a common surgical technique for managing esophageal cancer, but it complicates acute type A aortic dissection repair and raises concerns about gastric tube damage.

Case Presentation: A 73-year-old female, who underwent esophagectomy with retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction 6 months ago for esophageal cancer, presented with severe chest pain. Acute type A aortic dissection was confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and emergency hemiarch replacement through a median sternotomy was performed, preserving the gastric tube without injury.

Open after endovascular repair for previous extra anatomic bypass of adult coarctation.

Background: During follow-up, aneurysm formation in adults with coarctation of aorta has been reported after undergoing extra-anatomical aortic bypass grafting. Endovascular repair was a reasonable treatment option but there were still complications.

Case Presentation: A 48-year-old male who underwent extra-anatomical aortic bypass grafting, presented with severe back pain and hemoptysis.

Descending thoracic aortic repair outcomes for chronic aortic dissection: a single-centre experience.

Objectives: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair is a widely accepted treatment for chronic aortic dissection because of good early results compared to open surgical repair. We provide early and long-term results of descending thoracic aortic repair for chronic aortic dissection.

Methods: Patients who underwent descending thoracic aortic repair for chronic aortic dissection between January 2012 and December 2020 at Kawasaki Aortic Centre were included in this analysis.

Open Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Contemporary Outcomes for 393 Elective Cases.

Background: The purpose of this study was to reveal the midterm and long-term mortality rates among patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) after open TAAA repair and to clarify the effect of aneurysm type on mortality.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data for 393 patients (290 men; age, 63.2 ± 12.

Surgical outcomes of aortic repair via transapical cannulation and the adventitial inversion technique for acute Type A aortic dissection.

Objectives: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of aortic repair via transapical cannulation and the adventitial inversion technique for acute Type A aortic dissection.

Methods: Between 2008 and 2015, a total of 300 patients with acute Type A aortic dissection underwent emergency surgery, consisting of 271 hemiarch repairs and 29 total aortic arch replacements, using transapical cannulation and the adventitial inversion technique at a distal anastomosis. The mean follow-up periods were 31.
