We report the case of a 69-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome and a history of multiple thoracic aortic surgeries and a coexisting dissection of her abdominal aorta. She had presented with a ruptured para-anastomotic thoracic aortic aneurysm due to an infected graft. She was treated with two parallel Nellix endografts that were placed in the true and false lumens. The surrounding endobags were inflated with a polymer that completely sealed the ruptured aorta and preserved blood flow to the visceral arteries. Postoperative imaging showed complete exclusion of the aneurysm with patency of all aortic branches and no evidence of endoleak.

Apixaban removal during emergency surgery for type A acute aortic dissection: a prospective cohort study.
Int J Surg
December 2024
Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo.
Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) has a high mortality, and acute aortic repair is the only curative treatment. In patients treated with factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors, the risk of severe disease-related complications such as cardiac tamponade and hemodynamic shock must be balanced against the potential for severe perioperative bleeding. The aim was to study intraoperative changes in plasma levels of the FXa inhibitor apixaban when using hemoadsorption during acute thoracic aortic repair.

Outcomes in TAA are influenced by factors like age, sex, and comorbidities such as hypertension. This study examines mortality trends and disparities associated with TAA in US adults.

Radiation exposure during cardiac interventions in CHD: German Registry 2012-2020.
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2025
Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital Tuebingen, Tubingen, Germany.
Background: Since patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) frequently require life-long medical care and repeat invasive treatment, radiation exposure during interventional procedures is a relevant issue concerning potential radiation related risks. Therefore, an analysis on radiation data from the German Registry for Cardiac Operations and Interventions in patients with CHD was performed.
Methods: From January 2012 until December 2020 a total of 28,374 cardiac catheter interventions were recorded.
