Objective: Antegrade cerebral perfusion during aortic arch surgery plays an important role in improving postoperative neurological outcomes. We report our experience using innominate artery cannulation for arterial perfusion during aortic arch surgery.
Methods: From January 2008 to December 2015, 159 patients underwent aortic arch surgery using innominate artery perfusion and were included in the study analysis (mean age, 71.4 ± 9.1 years; male, 120).
Results: Total arch replacement was performed in 84.1% of all patients. The incidence of postoperative stroke was 2.5%, with an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 2.5%.
Conclusions: Innominate artery perfusionis a safe and useful technique for aortic arch surgery.

Background: Recent studies show that hyperactivation of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling plays a causal role in the development of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. Modulation of PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A) activity has been shown to be of significant therapeutic value. In light of the effects that PP2A can exert on the mTOR pathway, we hypothesized that PP2A activation by small-molecule activators of PP2A could mitigate AA progression in Marfan syndrome (MFS).

A 69-year-old man with chest pain was diagnosed with acute type B aortic dissection with the entry tear located at distal arch and a distal aortic arch aneurysm. Therefore, we performed debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair 2 weeks after type B aortic dissection onset. First, the graft was anastomosed to bilateral axillary arteries.

Background And Objective: Hemodynamic changes that lead to increased blood pressure represent the main drivers of organ damage in hypertension. Prolonged increases to blood pressure can lead to vascular remodeling, which also affects vascular hemodynamics during the pathogenesis of hypertension. Exercise is beneficial for relieving hypertension, however the mechanistic link between exercise training and how it influences hemodynamics in the context of hypertension is not well understood.

A patient in his early adolescence, who was treated for T5-T6 tubercular spondylodiscitis with an un-instrumented decompression, presented at 36 months post-index surgery, for post-laminectomy instability and kyphosis, after completing his requisite antitubercular treatment. He underwent thoracic posterior instrumented kyphosis correction and anterior reconstruction, with a T5-T6 partial corpectomy and corpectomy spacer placement, through a posterior midline incision. On the second postoperative day, he started complaining of pain on the left side of his chest, abdomen and left shoulder.

Objective: To explore the anatomical and clinical factors that affect the radiographic exposure time in radial artery cerebral angiography and to establish a model.
Method: A total of 210 patients who underwent radial artery cerebral angiography at this center from September 2021 to May 2022 were selected, and their anatomical and clinical factors were analyzed to evaluate the correlation between these factors and the duration of radiographic exposure. A related neural network prediction model was established.
