AI Article Synopsis
- The hybrid algorithm for treating coronary chronic total occlusions involves using advanced techniques and technologies, which can be challenging for operators.
- Patient-specific factors and the inherent limitations of low-profile equipment, like microcatheters, can lead to complications such as device fractures during procedures.
- A mini-series of two cases showcases the successful use of antegrade dissection re-entry techniques to address these challenges, while also reviewing related complexities, risks, and previous research.
Article Abstract
Application of the hybrid algorithm for the treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions requires the operator to readily deploy complex techniques and advanced technologies to achieve successful revascularization. Patient-specific factors and limitations in torquability and material strength of low-profile equipment such as microcatheters can result in procedural complications due to device fracture. Using a mini-series of 2 cases to demonstrate the successful application of antegrade dissection re-entry techniques to overcome such challenges, we highlight procedural complexities and risk, and review prior approaches and literature.

Acute type A aortic dissection is among the many types of catastrophic cardiovascular emergencies. The development of serious morbidity, especially neurological complications after the operation, remains a huge threat. We aimed to present comparatively the results of using unilateral or bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion to minimize these threats and to demonstrate the postoperative effects of antegrade cerebral perfusion choices.

The involvement of the aortic arch in thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA), or acute aortic dissections (AAD), represents a challenging clinical entity, mandating a meticulous surgical plan, tailored to each individual case. The advent of endovascular techniques and the introduction of modern arch protheses have led to the implementation of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique. This one-step hybrid operation consists of a total aortic arch replacement combined with an antegrade delivery of a stent-graft for the descending aorta, which acts as a proximal landing zone facilitating a potential distal endovascular reintervention.

Objectives: To assess the effects of unilateral versus bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (u-ACP vs b-ACP) on postoperative complications and mid-term follow-up results in Asian patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) undergoing total arch replacement (TAR) + the frozen elephant trunk (FET).
Methods: Clinical baseline data and postoperative complications of 702 ATAAD patients undergoing TAR+ FET at China Cardiovascular Centre Fuwai Hospital between January 2019 and December 2022 were collected. Patients were categorized into two groups based on antegrade cerebral perfusion: unilateral (n = 402) and bilateral (n = 300).

The complexity of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO PCI) involving calcification is high, and completing the procedure with an antegrade approach is often challenging. However, calcification is also a significant obstacle in the retrograde approach, where it has been reported as a predictor of CTO PCI failure even after successful channel crossing. Overcoming calcification in the retrograde approach is, therefore, crucial.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a new perfusion method in surgery for DeBakey Type I aortic dissection, focusing on improving organ protection and patient outcomes.
- Thirty-two patients underwent surgery using a combination of perfusion techniques, and outcomes showed no significant complications like paraplegia, with a low mortality rate of 3.13%.
- The results suggest that the new perfusion method effectively protected lower-body organs during surgery, but further research is needed to assess long-term benefits.
