Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the midterm outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair(TEVAR)combined with left subclavian artery(LSA)fenestration for aortic arch diseases. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the perioperative period and midterm follow-up clinical data of 111 patients who underwent TEVAR combined with LSA fenestration in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021. Results:Overall,the success rate of the surgery was 100%(111/ 111),the mortality rate within 30 days was 3.6%(4/111). The median postoperative follow-up time was 33.0 months,the all-cause mortality was 6.3%(7/111),the aorta-related mortality was 2.7%(3/111). Among the main complications,there were 3 patients(2.7%) of cerebrovascular accident,2 patients(1.8%)of paraplegia,1 patient(0.9%)of retrograde type A dissection(RTAD),2 patients (1.8%)of endoleak,and 3 patients(2.7%)of distal stent -induced new entry(dSINE). Four patients(3.6%)underwent the second aortic intervention,of which 3 patients(2.7%)were performed endovascular surgery and 1 patient(0.9%)was performed thoracotomy and artificial vascular replacement. Conclusion:The mid -term outcomes of TEVAR combined with LSA fenestration for aortic arch diseases were within the acceptable range,however,further follow-up results are needed and long-term stability and durability needs to be assessed. In addition,the technical process of fenestration needs to be standardized and unified,and related equipment needs to be further developed.
