Abstract
We report our experience in aortic arch repair with the E-vita Open hybrid prosthesis and describe the changes in our technique over time. Between October 2013 and December 2019, 56 patients underwent a total aortic arch replacement with the E-vita Open hybrid prosthesis. The main indications were thoracic aorta aneurysm (n = 27) and acute type A aortic dissection (n = 18). We analyze the technique and results in the overall series, and compare both between our early (group I, 25 patients) and late experience (group II, 31 patients). Overall in-hospital mortality was 7.1% (n = 4), and permanent stroke and spinal cord injury were 3.6% and 1.8%, respectively. Fifteen patients (26.8%) underwent a planned second procedure on the distal aorta: 13 endovascular, 1 open, and 1 hybrid. Survival at 1 and 3 years was 90.7% and 80.7%, respectively. Group II included more patients with acute dissection (45.2% vs 16%, P = .02), higher rates of bilateral cerebral perfusion (100% vs 64%, P < .001), left subclavian artery perfusion during lower body circulatory arrest (87.1% vs 0%, P < .001), early reperfusion (96.8% vs 40%, P < .001), and zone 0 to 2 distal anastomosis (100% vs 72%, P = .02). In-hospital mortality (3.2% vs 12%) and permanent s...Continue Reading
