Objective: To compare the effects of modified triple-branched stent implantation and frozen elephant trunk technique on the quality of life (QoL) of acute Stanford Type A aortic dissection (AAAD) patients at different follow-up times.
Methods: Data from 175 AAAD survivors was collected which were divided into two groups according to different surgical techniques: (group A): modified triple-branched stent graft implantation; (group B): frozen elephant trunk. The SF-36 were used to assess the QoL at discharge (AD), the third postoperative month (POM3), and the twelfth postoperative month (POM12).
Results: (1) The total scores at each time of both groups showed lower than the normal level; Group A scored higher than group B at some time points in terms of some items (role physical, role emotion and mental health; all P = 0.000), and some items at POM3 or POM12 scored higher than at discharge (role physical, social function; both P = 0.000). (2) There were less patients with heavy self-perceived burden in group A than group B at discharge (P = 0.032) and patients with heavy self-perceived burden decreased over time. (3) Young postoperative AAD patients (P = 0.002) in group B (P = 0.005) with heavy self-perceived burden (P = 0.000), acute renal failure (P = 0.008), long LOS (P = 0.026) and blood loss (> 1000 mL/24 h) (P = 0.039) seemed to get a worse QoL.
Conclusion: The impact on QoL of the modified triple-branched stent graft implantation technique seemed to be better than those of frozen elephant trunk surgery in role physical, role emotion and mental health.

Outcomes of Clampless Real Chimney Technique with Dacron Graft and Sleeve Banding of the Ascending Aorta for Total Debranching Endovascular Arch Repair.

Background: Hybrid aortic arch repair with debranching of the supra-aortic vessels carries a high risk of cerebral infarction and fatal complications associated with side clamping of the ascending aorta. A previous study had reported the "real chimney" technique, a novel method for clamp-free total debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair with the ascending aortic sleeve banding with dacron. In this study, we aim to build upon this foundation by presenting our experience with the early and midterm outcomes of this technique.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and validate a nomogram for predicting postoperative transient neurological dysfunctions (TND) in patients with acute type A aortic dissection undergoing a specific type of stent graft surgery.
- A retrospective analysis of 146 patients identified key predictors for TND, including factors like preoperative creatinine levels and total operation time, and the model demonstrated strong predictive ability with an AUC of 0.818.
- The long-term survival rates were similar for patients with and without TND, indicating that the nomogram could be a valuable tool for clinicians in assessing TND risk in this patient group.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored whether the timing of cardiovascular surgery (day vs. night) impacts outcomes for patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD).
- A total of 925 patients were analyzed, and the results showed no significant differences in in-hospital mortality or other complications based on the time of surgery.
- Key factors influencing mortality included the time from onset to admission and from onset to surgery, rather than the time of day the surgery was performed.*

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) complicates the postoperative course. There is limited information on POD-related risk factors (RFs) and prognosis in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) after modified triple-branched stent graft implantation (MTBSG) surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively examined consecutive ATAAD patients who received MTBSG surgery in our hospital between January 2013 and December 2019.

Background: We assessed the relationships between levels of preoperative thyroid hormone (TH), cortisol, interleukin-2 (IL-2), and procalcitonin (PCT) and postoperative delirium (POD) in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients receiving modified triple-branched stent-graft (MTBSG) implant surgeries.
Methods: ATAAD patients received MTBSG implant surgeries in our hospital between February 2019 and December 2020 were recruited. We separated them into a POD and non-POD cohort and employed univariable and multivariable regression analysis to establish independent correlations between preoperative THs, cortisol, IL-2, and PCT and POD.
