Abstract

Purpose: To report the results of a hybrid approach to aortic arch repair using an innovative unibody double-branched stent graft in a canine model.Materials and methods: The stent-graft system consists of two parts: the main body and two branches for reconstruction of the supra-arch branches. There is a 2-cm-long suturing portion at the proximal end of the main body. Twenty adult German sheep dogs underwent a hybrid surgical treatment to place the stent-grafts into the proximal descending aorta and the supra-arch branches. Outcomes were assessed by operative mortality, complications, imaging studies, and histomorphometric analyses.Results: Placement of the stent-graft was performed successfully in all dogs without complications. One dog died of respiratory failure due to early extubation. The other dogs survived to 6 months without complications, at which time they were sacrificed. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 80.3 ± 7.3 mins and hypothermic circulatory arrest time was 10.7 ± 1.9 min. The average blood loss was 373.5 mL. At 6 months, postoperative aortic imaging indicated that the main body and branches of the stent-graft were fully open and in satisfactory position. No migration, deformation, or endovascular leaka...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
