Despite the technical innovations introduced in the previous decades, open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair still represents an enormous challenge for patients and surgeons. Logically, the systemic inflammatory response resulting from these massive operations appears considerable; however, the response has never been thoroughly investigated. In addition, intraoperative adjuncts to modulate the postoperative activation of the immune system have not yet been introduced into clinical practice. We report a case of intraoperative hemadsorption during open repair of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm through the introduction of a CytoSorb device (CytoSorbents Corp) in the left heart bypass circuit. The technique appeared feasible and safe and probably contributed to the good clinical outcomes.

Techniques in hybrid repair of aortic arch and thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies.

Introduction: Since the mid-1900s, techniques in the repair of aortic arch and thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies have drastically evolved. Open aortic surgical repair was once the sole option for both simple and complex aneurysmal degeneration. Today, a number of minimally invasive and hybrid approaches are now available to assist both the surgeon and patient in tackling this challenging problem.

Objective: Emergent complex abdominal aortic diseases are challenging to treat. During in situ laser fenestration (ISLF), aortic branches are covered and flow is restored with in situ fenestration of the stent graft, with promising midterm results. This study aimed to expand on the limited body of knowledge of midterm outcomes of ISLF in renovisceral aortic pathology in a multicentre setting.

Article Synopsis
- Proximal control of the thoracic aorta during surgery can be difficult due to the complex nature of thoracoabdominal aortic repairs.
- Different techniques, including deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and staged methods like the frozen elephant trunk procedure, have been developed to tackle these difficulties.
- The paper reviews these challenges and explains the reasoning for using various surgical approaches.
Utilization and Outcomes Associated With Intravascular Ultrasound during Abdominal and Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Interventions in the United States in the Contemporary Era (2016-2023).
Circ Cardiovasc Interv

Background: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) use in aortic endovascular interventions, including thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), may have similar benefits to those seen in coronary and peripheral interventions, but limited utilization and outcome data exist.
Methods: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services claims data were used to identify patients undergoing TEVAR and EVAR from 2016 to 2023. Utilization trends were stratified by region, urbanicity, distressed communities index, community versus academic center, Medicare versus dual enrollment status, indication, urgency, and presence of dissection with malperfusion.
Infectious Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in a Patient with Myasthenia Gravis: A Case Report.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorder that rarely coexists with infectious thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) requiring open repair. A 57-year-old patient with MG underwent elective thoracoabdominal aortic replacement. He was diagnosed with MG (Osserman classification II A).
