Repair of Distal Aortic Arch Aneurysms by Left Subclavian Artery Transposition with Stented Elephant Trunk Implantation

Abstract

Repair of distal aortic arch aneurysms remains technically challenging using conventional open surgery due to its location. Several techniques, including a conventional prosthetic graft replacement and a hybrid technique, were introduced to manipulate this lesion. We retrospectively reviewed our experience with left subclavian artery (LSCA) transposition with stented elephant trunk implantation for repair of distal aortic arch aneurysms. From May 2009 to December 2014, 9 men (mean age 55 ± 16 years) with distal aortic arch aneurysms underwent LSCA transposition with stented elephant trunk implantation under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass with antegrade selective cerebral perfusion via a median sternotomy. One case had a history of endovascular abdominal aortic repair. There was no in-hospital death. The mean time of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit stay was 22 ± 9 and 53 ± 17 hr, respectively. No severe complications occurred in this group. All patients survived and were discharged. No patient died during the follow-up period. Postoperative computed tomography revealed good patency of the anastomotic site between the LSCA and the left common carotid artery. Satisfactory surgical results and follow-up outcomes ...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
