RÉSUMÉ
Objective To analyze the short-term results of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR)for patients with acute type B aortic dissection and chronic renal insufficiency (CRI ).Methods Between February 2009 and December 2012,EVAR was performed in 30 patients with acute type B aortic dissection and CRI (CRI group).Consecutive 30 patients with acute type B aortic dissection whose renal function was normal during the same period was chosen as the control group (non-CRI group).All patients were within 14 days after onset,in which Marfan syndrome was excluded and diagnosis made by computed tomographic angiography (CTA) before the procedure.In 57 patients,EVAR was performed under looal anesthesia and associated procedures included insertion of a chimney stent in the left subclavian artery in 2 case and a bare metal stent in the renl artery in 2,In 3 patients,EVAR was done following right axillary artery-to-left axillary and left subclavian artery bypass with a Y-shaped graft under general anesthesia.Follow-up regimen included renal function and CTA at I month and 1 year postoperatively.Results Compared to the non-CRI group,patients in the CRI grup was significantly younger [ (44.7±13.2) years versus (53.7±16.2)years,P ＜0.05)and had a higher rate of perioperative complications (cerebrospinal ischemia,deterioration of renal dysfunction,and gastroenteral dysfunction) (16.7％ versus 3.3％,P ＜0.05 ),all of which resolved after surgical or medical treatment.One patient in CRI group was readmitted at 6 months for a redo EVAR to treat a new tear distal to the stent.At 1 month and I year postoperatively,no patients suffered from deterioration ofthe renal function,and their CTAs detected no apparent device deformation,alteration and endoleak,with remsrkable improvement in the blood supply of the aortic trie lumen and branches.Conchusion Satisfactory short-term results can be achieved with EVAR for patients with acute type B aortic dissection and CRI.At I month and 1 year postoperatively,no mortality or morbidity occumed such as endoleak,aortic rupture,neurologic and abdominal ischermia.
