Intervention rates and outcomes in medically managed uncomplicated descending thoracic aortic dissections

Maximilian Kreibich, Matthias Siepe, Tim Berger, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Martin Soschynski, Christopher L. Schlett, Martin Czerny, Bartosz Rylski

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term incidence and outcome of aortic interventions for medically managed uncomplicated thoracic aortic dissections. Among the patients discharged home with uncomplicated aortic dissections, 33% of them required aortic interventions. A descending thoracic aortic diameter exceeding 45 mm was a predictive factor for aortic intervention. The risk for aortic intervention after 1 and 3 years was 27% and 36%, respectively.

Summary: Through a comparison study of patients with Marfan syndrome and patients without Marfan syndrome, it was found that Marfan syndrome does not have an adverse effect on 30-day outcomes after surgical repair for acute aortic Stanford type A dissection.

Non-A non-B acute aortic dissection with entry tear in the aortic arch

Monika Kosiorowska, Mikolaj Berezowski, Kazimierz Widenka, Maximilian Kreibich, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Martin Czerny, Bartosz Rylski

Summary: This study described the outcomes of the latest treatment options for acute non-A non-B aortic dissection involving an entry tear in the aortic arch. The majority of patients required aortic arch repair within the first 2 weeks, and total arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique showed low procedural mortality and may become the treatment of choice.

Invasive Coronary Angiography in Patients with Native or Prosthetic Aortic Valve Endocarditis

Summary: This study evaluated the risks and benefits of preoperative invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients with infective aortic valve endocarditis. The results showed that ICA is safe and clinically significant in selected patients, with no adverse clinical outcomes detected.

Acute aortic dissection: evidence, uncertainties, and future therapies

Bartosz Rylski, Oliver Schilling, Martin Czerny

Summary: Remarkable progress has been made in aortic medicine in recent decades, leading to significant changes in the understanding and treatment of thoracic aortic dissection. This state-of-the-art review article explores the mechanisms of acute aortic dissection, the impact of its entry location and dissection extension on clinical presentation and treatment decisions, and presents the latest evidence on novel treatment methods and discussions on dissection classification. Future aspects of treating acute aortic dissection are also discussed.

Efficacy and Safety of Percutaneous Access Via Large-Bore Sheaths (22-26F Diameter) in Endovascular Therapy

Bartosz Rylski, Zeynep Berkarda, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Stoyan Kondov, Martin Czerny, Jaroslaw Majcherek, Marcin Protasiewicz, Artur Milnerowicz

Summary: The success rate of closure with the suture-mediated vascular closure device Perclose ProGlide was evaluated in patients undergoing aortic or iliac artery endovascular repair using large delivery systems (>21F). The closure success rate exceeded 90% in patients using large bore sheaths. Severe femoral artery calcification is the only risk factor for conversion to open surgery.

Effects of Prolonged Serum Calcium Suppression during Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Pigs

Jan-Steffen Pooth, Yechi Liu, Ralf Petzold, Christian Scherer, Leo Benning, Maximilian Kreibich, Martin Czerny, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Christoph Benk, Georg Trummer, Sam Joe Brixius

Summary: Controlled reperfusion after cardiac arrest has the potential to limit ischemia-reperfusion injury, with the early suppression of serum calcium showing promise for improving survival and neurological outcomes. Prolonged serum calcium suppression during extracorporeal resuscitation in a porcine model tended to be unfavorable compared to a single-dose approach in terms of survival and hemodynamic variables.

Role of ECLS in Managing Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture

Rodrigo Sandoval Boburg, Stoyan Kondov, Mladen Karamitev, Christian Schlensak, Rafal Berger, Helene Haeberle, Walter Jost, Albi Fagu, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Maximilian Kreibich, Martin Czerny, Matthias Siepe

Summary: This study analyzed outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) and the preoperative use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS). The results showed that ECLS could be an effective procedure as a bridge to surgery in patients with VSR and cardiogenic shock, but there was no statistical difference in in-hospital and long-term mortality compared to those without ECLS.

Routine versus selective near-infrared spectroscopy-guided shunting during carotid eversion endarterectomy

Stoyan Kondov, Dominique Bothe, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Martin Czerny, Andreas Harloff, Jan-Steffen Pooth, Klaus Kaier, Joachim Schoellhorn, Maximilian Kreibich, Matthias Siepe, Bartosz Rylski

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of routine shunting to near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-guided shunting in patients undergoing eversion endarterectomy (EEA) under general anesthesia. The study found that, in patients undergoing EEA under general anesthesia, NIRS-guided selective shunting was associated with a lower incidence of perioperative stroke compared to routine shunting.

Treatment of right-sided aortic arch aneurysms with aberrant left subclavian artery with Kommerell's diverticulum using the frozen elephant trunk technique

Andrzej Juraszek, Tim Berger, Maximilian Kreibich, Konstantinos Tsagakis, Thanos Sioris, Zeynep Berkarda, Bartosz Rylski, Matthias Siepe, Martin Czerny

Summary: The frozen elephant trunk technique is a good treatment option for patients with aneurysms of an aberrant left subclavian artery with Kommerell's diverticulum arising from right aortic arches. Secondary stent graft extension is a frequently needed component of the treatment concept. The most common variant of the aortic arch branching represents 'the bovine aortic arch' with the prevalence of 11-27% in the adult population.

Retrospective investigation of >400 patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair with or without cerebrospinal fluid drainage

Summary: This study analysed the risks and benefits of cerebrospinal fluid drainage (CSFD) placement in patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair. The results showed that preoperative CSFD can potentially help prevent permanent spinal cord ischaemia (SCI), but the decision to perform preoperative CSFD should be based on a comprehensive assessment of other patient factors.

Perioperative Mass Transfusion Affects In-Hospital but Not Follow-Up Survival in Patients with Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

Julia Benk, Tim Berger, Roman Gottardi, Tim Walter, Stoyan Kondov, Bartosz Rylski, Martin Czerny, Maximilian Kreibich

Summary: Mass transfusion occurs in a significant proportion of patients with acute Type A aortic dissection and is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular complications. Patients receiving mass transfusion have prolonged surgical procedures and higher in-hospital mortality, but survival after discharge is not affected.
