Aortic Arch

March 27, 2024
This study used the German registry of acute aortic dissection type A (GERAADA) score to predict thirty-day mortality in an aortic center in the United States. Six-hundred-eighty-five patients who underwent surgery for acute type A aortic dissection were included. Thirty-day mortality was 12 percent.

In the last decades, four different scores for the prediction of mortality following surgery for type A acute aortic dissection (TAAD) were proposed. Researchers aimed to validate these scores in a large external multicenter cohort. The study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent surgery for TAAD between 2000 and 2020.

In this mandatory national clinical registry analysis of acute aortic dissections, in-hospital mortality was 18 percent in 859 patients who underwent repair of type A dissections vs. 52 percent in 298 unoperated-on type A patients, and 13 percent in 122 patients who underwent surgical or endovascular repair of type B dissections vs.

This expert single-center series analyzes 1,429 ascending aorta and arch replacements performed between 1991 and 2020 with circulatory arrest at nadir temperatures of 14 to 20°C with retrograde cerebral perfusion, including 464 acute type A dissections. The authors report overall operative mortality of 8.9 percent and stroke rate of 8.4 percent.

A team of surgeons at National Heart Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia collaborated with a team from the University of Michigan to complete the first total aortic arch replacement in the country. Despite the patient’s 8 cm aortic dissection, the procedure was uneventful with no complications.
