Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between the changes of total cholesterol (TC), C-reactive protein (CRP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the degree of false lumen thrombosis after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 95 patients with aortic dissection admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from June 2015 to July 2020 were selected for retrospective study. All patients were treated with TEVAR. According to the disappearance of false lumen detected by computed tomography (CT) angiography six months after operation, 95 patients were divided into complete disappearance group ( n=43) and incomplete disappearance group ( n=52). The levels of plasma TC, CRP and VEGF in the two groups were compared before operation and 1 and 3 months after operation, as well as the degree of false lumen thrombosis. Spearman′s method was used to analyze the relationship between the levels of plasma TC, CRP and VEGF and the degree of postoperative false lumen thrombosis; multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the disappearance of false lumen after TEVAR; The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to analyze the value of each index in predicting the complete disappearance of false lumen. Results:The plasma levels of TC, CRP and VEGF in the complete disappearance group were lower than those in the incomplete disappearance group 1 and 3 months after operation (all P<0.05). The degree of false lumen thrombosis in the complete disappearance group was significantly different from that in the incomplete disappearance group 1 and 3 months after operation (all P<0.05). The plasma levels of TC, CRP and VEGF 1 and 3 months after TEVAR were negatively correlated with the degree of false lumen thrombosis (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the plasma levels of TC, CRP and VEGF 1 and 3 months after operation were correlated with the disappearance of false lumen (all P<0.05). With the passage of time, the AUC of each index to predict the complete disappearance of false lumen gradually increased. At 3 months after operation, the AUC of TC, CRP, VEGF and combined prediction of the complete disappearance of false lumen were 0.706, 0.899, 0.781 and 0.943, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The changes of plasma TC, CRP and VEGF levels after TEVAR are related to the degree of false lumen thrombosis and the disappearance of false lumen in patients with aortic dissection. Combined examination of the three can be an effective method to predict the complete disappearance of false lumen.
