Hybrid Arch Aneurysm Repair With Ascending Aortic Wrap and TEVAR.

J Endovasc Ther

January 2025

Aortic Center, Hôpital Marie-Lannelongue, Groupe Hospitalier Paris Saint Joseph, Université Paris-Saclay, INSERM UMR_S 999, Le Plessis Robinson, France.

Introduction: Management of patients with large aortic arch aneurysms who are considered high risk for frozen elephant trunk technique have been challenging, especially when they have a dilated ascending aorta (AA) that precludes total endovascular branched repair (arch BEVAR). A viable option in our armamentarium is wrapping of the AA (AW), and zone 0 Ishimaru TEVAR.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of our aortic database from 2013 to 2024 to select high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysm that had an AW and TEVAR.

Mid-term outcomes of frozen elephant trunk for chronic aortic dissection.

Can J Cardiol

January 2025

Cardiovascular department, Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Centre, Russian Academy of Sciences, Tomsk, Russian Federation.

Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the mid-term outcomes of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure for chronic aortic dissection (СAD).

Methods: From March 2012 to December 2022, 123 FET procedures were performed in patients with acute and chronic aortic dissection as well as aortic aneurysm. Fifty-five patients with chronic aortic dissection (CAD) were eligible for study.

Diffuse Coronary Vasospasm After Zone 2 Debranching and Antegrade TEVAR.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

December 2024

Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.

Coronary vasospasm involves constriction of the coronary arteries and has been described after manipulation of the coronary arteries (ie, after stenting or bypass grafting). This report details the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with an endoleak after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. He underwent a frozen elephant trunk procedure and postoperatively had diffuse coronary vasospasm, demonstrated on pre- and post-vasospasm cardiac catheterization.

Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.

Background: There is limited experience and knowledge of the use of the fenestrated frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study's aims were to assess the clinical outcomes of the fenestrated FET technique for ATAAD and to identify its best practices and pitfalls.

Methods: This study included 101 patients who underwent emergency surgical aortic repair for ATAAD at our hospital between October 2018 and April 2023.
