Presented at the Forty-sixth Annual Meeting of the Southern Thoracic Surgery Association, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Nov 4–6, 1999.
Background. This study was undertaken to determine predictors of adverse outcome and transient neurological dysfunction after replacement of the ascending aorta with an open distal anastomosis.
Methods. All 443 patients (300 male, median age 63) undergoing replacement of the ascending aorta with an open distal anastomosis between 1986 and 1998 were included in the analysis. The ascending aorta alone was replaced in 190 (42.9%); 253 (57.1%) also had proximal arch replacement. Median hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) time was 25 minutes (range 12 to 68). Either death or permanent neurological dysfunction were considered adverse outcome (AO).
Results. Adverse outcome occurred in 11.5% (51 of 443) of patients overall: in 7.4% of elective (20 of 269) or urgent (4 of 54) operations, but in 17% (19 of 113) of emergencies. Multivariate analysis of the group as a whole revealed that significant (p < 0.05) independent preoperative predictors of AO were age greater than 60 [odds ratio (OR) 2.2], hemodynamic instability (OR 2.7), and dissection (OR 1.9). For the 435 operative survivors, procedural variables predictive of AO were contained rupture (OR 2.8) and HCA time (OR 1.03/min). When only the 271 elective patients were analyzed separately, the need for a concomitant procedure (p = 0.009, OR 3.6) and HCA time (p = 0.002, OR 1.06/min) were the only predictors of AO in multivariate analysis. Transient neurological dysfunction (TND) occurred in 86 of 392 patients (22%). Significant predictors of TND for all patients without AO were age (OR 1.06/y), HCA time (OR 1.04/min), coronary artery disease (OR 2.2), hemodynamic instability (OR 3.4), and acute operation (OR 2.2). Survival of discharged patients was 93% at 1 year and 83% at 5 years.
Conclusions. Early elective operation and shorter HCA time during ascending aorta/hemiarch surgery will reduce both AO and TND.
