Abstract:
Objective:To examine the outcomes of surgical repair for patients with total subclavian artery occlusion.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 67 patients with subclavian artery occlusion disease admitted at Ward 1 of Aortic and Vascular Surgery Center, Fuwai Hospital from January 2016 to July 2019. The age was, and There were 51 male patients and 16 females with an age of (61.7±8.2) years (range: 37 to 79 years). The t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, χ 2 test, and Fisher's exact test were used to analyze the factors related to the technique success. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to calculate the cumulative patency rate and plot the corresponding survival curves, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison. The length from the subclavian artery ostial to the occlusion area was used as a variable to plot the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the optimal cut-off value was determined by the Youden index. Results:Eighteen patients received open surgery. Forty-nine patients with subclavian artery occlusion accepted endovascular repair, of which 38 patients succeeded (31 cases on left side and 3 cases on right side). Fifteen patients failed with endovascular therapy, of which 10 cases received elective surgery and 5 cases received conservative therapy. The success rate of endovascular repair was 69.4%(34/49). Among them, the success rate of left subclavian artery occlusion was 81.6%(31/38), while the right side was 3/11. Patients with the length from the subclavian artery ostial to the occlusion area ≥6 mm were more likely to get success (23/34 vs. 4/15, χ 2=5.506, P=0.019). In the endo-group, one patient had hemorrhage in the left chest. In the open-group, one patient had lymphatic leakage. Follow-up period ranged from 3 to 46 months with a median of 22 months. The patency of endovascular repair group and the open surgery group was 92.6% and 90.8% at 12-month, while 82.9% and 84.3% at 24-month, respectively. The cumulative patency rates of smoking patients and non-smoking patients after endovascular treatment were 70.2% vs. 100% ( P=0.048) at 24-month. No independent prognosis factors were identified through the Cox proportional risk model which significantly affected postoperative patency rates for patients with subclavian artery occlusion. Conclusions:Part of patients with subclavian artery occlusion can be treated by endovascular therapy. The success rate of left subclavian artery occlusions is higher than right sides. The length from the subclavian artery ostial to the occlusion area affected the success rate of repair.
