Abstract

Patients with Stanford B aortic dissection (AD) are usually found to have sleep apnea syndrome (SAS). This condition always complicates the patients' respiration. In this study, we collected and analyzed data of patients' perioperative managements during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for treating patients with Stanford B AD and SAS. Comparison has been made between the patients with SAS and those without SAS. Between June 2013 and June 2014, the clinical data and outcomes of the Stanford B AD patients in the Department of Vascular Surgery in the Second Xiangya Hospital were retrospectively reviewed and studied. According to the result of polysomnography obtained by using a portable polysomnography monitor (Nox T3, Nox Medical Co. Iceland) in TEVAR candidates, patients have been stratified into SAS-positive and SAS-negative group. Comparison of various variables has been made between these 2 groups. One hundred thirty-four patients, with Stanford B AD and treated by TEVAR in our center, were enrolled in this study. Patients' mean age was 52.46 ± 10.84 years. Gender ratio is 114:20, including male 85.07% (114/134) and female 14.93% (20/134). TEVAR was performed in 71.64% (96/134) patients under general anesthesia an...Continue Reading
