Abstract
Stent graft therapy has emerged as an alternative to open surgery in the management of chronic dissection-related aneurysmal degeneration (DRAD) in the descending thoracic aorta (DTA). The incidence of perioperative complications, need for secondary aortic intervention (SAI), and rate of aneurysmal false-lumen thrombosis have not been thoroughly described. Perioperative and midterm outcomes in patients who underwent stent graft therapy for chronic DRAD DTA at a single institution between January 2006 and September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative anatomic factors, including the number of visceral and renal side branches off the false lumen, and false lumen volume, were analyzed for their ability to predict treatment failure. Treatment failure was defined as death, need for a SAI, and failure to achieve thrombosis of the DRAD DTA. Treatment success was defined as thrombosis of the false lumen in the area of the DRAD DTA with stability or a decrease in the maximum diameter of the DRAD DTA. During the study period, 47 patients underwent stent graft therapy for chronic DRAD DTA. Patients were a mean age of 58.3 ± 11.7 years, 74.5% (n = 35) were male, and 14.9% (n = 7) had a history of connective tissue disease. The ...Continue Reading
