Surgical treatment of Stanford A intramural hematoma / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To summarize experience and result in surgical treatment of Stanford type A intramural hematoma.Methods 60 patients with Stanford type A intramural hematoma were operated from February 2015 to August 2017.Surgery was indicated in complicated cases with penetrating ulcer or ulcer-like projection in ascending aorta,maximum aorta diameter≥50 mm,progressive maximum aortic wall thickness≥i0 mm,pericardial or pleural effusion,persistent or recurrent pain.Aortic valve regurgitation.In our group,46 patients recieved ascending aorta replacement + Sun's procedure.6 patients recieved Bentall + Sun's procedure.4 patients recieved asceding aorta + hemiarch replacement.2 patients recieved Bentall + hemiarch replacement.2 patients recieved asceding aorta replacement.Results In the whole group,there was 1 (1.7％) operative death because of multiple organ failure after operation.Hyoxemiaoccured in 5(8.3％) patients,2(3.3％) patients occurred new renal failure and required CRRT treatment,cerebrovascular complication occurred in 1 (1.7％)patient,re-sternotomy due to bleeeding occured in 1 (1.7％) patient and paraplegia occured in 1 (1.7％) patient after operation.but they recoved quickly after proper treatment.During follow up period,there were 4 cases need reintervention,including TEVAR for type B dissection at 3 months and distal stent-graft new entry at 1 year.Two other reinterventions were performed for endoleak by interventional occlusion.During the follow-up,hematoma absorption rates after treatment 1、3 and 6 months were 68.6％,84.7％ and 94.8％.Conclusion Given the dynamic evolution of acute type A IMH pre-operative accurate indications and the proper surgical strategy maybe the keys for success.
