Abstract:
Objective To explore the technology and curative effect of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for Stanford type B aortic dissection.Methods The clinical data of 85 patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from January 2010 to April 2016 to receive TEVAR,were retrospectively analyzed.Conventional left brachial artery puncture and straight incision of right femoral artery were employed in all 85 patients,and DSA of ascending aorta was performed to find out the position of rupture,the position of the true and false lumens,and their relationship with the vascular openings of important organs.Endovascular covered stent was implanted to seal off the primary rupture;reexamination of ascending aorta angiography was adopted to check the sealing-off condition of the proximal rupture and the changes of blood flow in the aortic branches as well as in the true and false lumens.Results Successful TEVAR was accomplished in 84 patients.One patient died of sudden rupture of aortic dissection during preoperative anaesthesia.The technical success rate was 100％.In 9 patients the covered stent partially overlapped the left subclavian artery,in one patient the left subclavian artery “chimney” stem completely obstructed both the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery,and bypass surgery between left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery was carried out in 2 patients.After the treatment,internal leakage of type Ⅰ was detected in 2 patients.No death occurred during hospitalization period.After the surgery the patients were followed up for 3 months to 3 years,and all patients survived.New rupture at the distal site occurred in 2 patients.Conclusion For the treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection,TEVAR is safe and effective.Strict observance of surgical indications,careful operative manipulation,and strengthening postoperative management after discharge from hospital are the key points to ensure a successful surgery as well as to improve the long-term survival rate.
