Background: The incidence of perioperative stroke following spinal surgery, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, has not been fully investigated in the Chinese population. Whether specific spinal or emergency/elective procedures are associated with perioperative stroke remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of perioperative stroke, health economic burden, clinical outcomes, and associated risk factors.

Method: A retrospective cohort study using an electronic hospital information system database was conducted from Jan 1, 2015, to Jan 1, 2021, in a tertiary hospital in China. Patients aged ≥18 years who had undergone spinal surgery were included in the study. We recorded patient demographics, comorbidities, and health economics data. Clinical outcomes included perioperative stroke during hospitalization and associated risk factors. The patients' operative data, anesthetic data, and clinical manifestations were recorded.

Result: A total of 17,408 patients who had undergone spinal surgery were included in this study. Twelve patients had perioperative stroke, including seven ischemic stroke (58.3%) and five hemorrhagic stroke (41.7%). The incidence of perioperative stroke was 0.07% (12/17,408). In total, 12 stroke patients underwent spinal fusion. Patients with perioperative stroke were associated with longer hospital stay (38.33 days vs. 9.78 days, p < 0.001) and higher hospital expenses (RMB 175,642 vs. RMB 81,114, p < 0.001). On discharge, 50% of perioperative patients had severe outcomes. The average onset time of perioperative stroke was 1.3 days after surgery. Stroke history (OR 146.046, 95% CI: 28.102-759.006, p < 0.001) and hyperlipidemia (OR 4.490, 95% CI: 1.182-17.060, p = 0.027) were associated with perioperative stroke.

Conclusion: The incidence of perioperative stroke of spinal surgery in a tertiary hospital in China was 0.07%, with a high proportion of hemorrhagic stroke. Perioperative stroke patients experienced a heavy financial burden and severe outcomes. A previous stroke history and hyperlipidemia were associated with perioperative stroke.

Objectives: This study evaluates a staged selective hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection. The approach involves a zone 2 aortic arch replacement with debranching of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery to create a landing zone for thoracic endovascular aortic repair. This repair is performed either preemptively in the subacute phase to promote remodelling or electively in the chronic phase to manage aneurysm formation.

Surgical management for caseous calcification of mitral annulus associated with coronary artery disease.

Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg

March 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Anjo Kosei Hospital, Anjo, Aichi, 446-8602, Japan.

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a common finding, especially among the elderly or patients undergoing hemodialysis. Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare MAC variant with liquefied material at the calcified annulus. Surgical management of CCMA often involves wide excision and debridement, increasing the risk of perioperative stroke.

Background: The perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is highly complex and involves numerous factors. There is a strong association between cardiac surgery and perioperative complications. The Brazilian Surgical Identification Study (BraSIS 2) aims to assess the incidence of death and early postoperative complications, identify potential risk factors, and examine both the demographic characteristics of patients and the epidemiology of cardiovascular procedures.

Endovascular treatment and hybrid surgery for extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms.

Ann Vasc Surg

March 2025

Department of Vascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China. Electronic address:

Background: Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms (EICAAs) are rare, and both endovascular treatment and hybrid surgery have been used to treat them. Herein, we evaluated the outcomes of endovascular treatment and hybrid surgery for EICAAs treated at our institution.

Methods: Twenty-eight patients diagnosed with EICAA and treated with endovascular treatment or hybrid surgery in our center from January 2013 to June 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Objective: Traditional total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk requires 2 separate grafts in the descending thoracic aorta and arch, and frequently requires a graft-to-graft anastomosis, which is prone to bleeding. The Thoraflex (Terumo Aortic) device treats the arch and descending thoracic aorta in a single device but has not been compared directly to traditional total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk and has not been studied in a real-world context in the United States.

Methods: A consecutive sample of total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk patients across 5 different institutions between January 2018 and January 2024, identified 438 patients of which 83 out of 438 (18.
