Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) is a serious medical condition that requires immediate surgical intervention. The repair of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) combines different surgical procedures, including the use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). This study focuses on the gastrointestinal (GI) system and the complications arising in the gastrointestinal (GI) system as a result of this procedure. Retrograde Inferior Vena Cava Perfusion (RIVP) is a technique used during Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) that could show potential in mitigating latent gastrointestinal (GI) complications. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Retrograde Inferior Vena Cava Perfusion (RIVP) in patients receiving Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) repair with Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) in reducing Ischemic Reperfusion (IR) injury and inflammatory responses that affect gastrointestinal (GI) integrity. It intends to compare the postoperative gastrointestinal (GI) complications and long-term gastrointestinal (GI) function between patients treated with Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion (ACP) and Retrograde Inferior Vena Cava Perfusion (RIVP), and those treated with Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion (ACP) alone. The patients will be placed in their respective groups as per the decision of the surgeons, perfusionists, and the condition of the patient. Data collection will be facilitated by a comprehensive Case Report Form (CRF). This pilot study, guided by established methodologies, places the study's sample size at 30 to ensure statistical reliability and prevent resource wastage. Through this approach of sample collection, baseline data collection, peri-operative data recording, and follow-up assessments, the study aims to shed light on the impact of Retrograde Inferior Vena Cava Perfusion (RIVP) during Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) repair on gastrointestinal (GI) complications and systemic/intestinal inflammation. The integration of specialized Case Report Forms (CRFs) and structured questionnaires ensures standardized data collection and management, while prioritizing patient confidentiality. The study's data analysis, powered by R software, will provide valuable insights into the efficacy of Retrograde Inferior Vena Cava Perfusion (RIVP) in enhancing clinical outcomes and improving patient's prognosis in the surgical treatment of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD).
This study wants to understand the incidence of returning to work after discharge in patients with type B aortic dissection.
The study, named as "The Efficacy of Driving Pressure-guided Lung Protective Ventilation in Surgical Repair of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: an open-label, randomized control clinical trial", aims to investigate whether driving pressure-guided lung protective ventilation can reduce postoperative oxygenation function in patients who have undergone surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection. The primary outcomes is the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia (a partial pressure of arterial oxygen to inspiratory oxygen fraction ratio less than 300 mm Hg or a peripheral blood oxygen saturation less than 93% at any concentration of inspiratory oxygen) within 7 days after the surgery.
The aim of this study is to explore the genetic information associated with the development of TAA and aAD in individuals without history or syndromic features (Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome etc.) for aortic disease. For this purpose, whole genome sequencing will be performed in patients with documented aortic aneurysm or/and aortic dissection.
According to the literature, presepsin was recommended not only as an effective indicator in the diagnosis of sepsis in intensive care units, but also as a reliable prognostic marker of postoperative inflammatory processes in cardiac surgery. Previous study carried out in Petrovsky NRCS related to biomarkers in cardiac surgery and presepsin in particular showed good sensitivity in infection complications prognosis.
Real-world clinical trial evidence post-market, evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Dominus® StentGraft Endoprosthesis in treating thoracic aortic diseases, following the Instructions for Use
This study intends to include patients who had aortic root lesions and were treated with Bentall surgery from January 2019 to July 2023 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The patients will be divided into the minimally invasive group and control group according to the surgical methods: the former underwent minimally invasive Bentall surgery through a small right intercostal incision; the latter underwent traditional Bentall surgery through a median sternal incision. By comparing the clinical data of patients in two groups, we will investigate the effect and safety of minimally invasive Bentall surgery.
The use of cutaneous or fasciocutaneous flaps is daily in reconstructive surgery ENT in patients with cancers of the upper aero-digestive tract (AVDS). Cancers of the oral cavity require reconstructions with thin flaps in order to best preserve the functions of swallowing and phonation via patients' joints. Indeed, the flaps are inert tissues, which can only be mobilized by the residual muscles of the patients' tongue: their lightness and finesse facilitates this mobilization. The use of free flaps is regular but requires micro-surgical skill of the operator as well as a preserved general condition of the patients and appropriate post-operative care. Alternatively, there are some pedicled flaps with the appropriate thickness to reconstruct extensive loss of substances from the oral cavity in a suitable manner: the supraclavicular flap, the suprahyoid flap, the submental flap and the myo-mucosal flap pedicled on the facial artery being more limited in size. The creation of an anterior thoracic fasciocutaneous flap, pedicled on the anterior thoracic perforating artery (PATA) seems to be another suitable therapeutic option. Only one preliminary Chinese study describes it, on only eleven patients. According to the authors, it would offer a wide skin palette (up to 15x10cm). Its long pedicle (on average 9.2cm) would allow a significant axis of rotation so that the flap easily reaches the oral cavity. The authors underline the variability of the origin of this perforator, arising depending on the case from the transverse cervical trunk (9 cases) or from the supraclavicular artery (2 cases), branches of division of the thyro-cervical trunk. However, when the PATA arises from the supraclavicular artery, its interest could be limited because the creation of a PATA perforator flap could compromise the creation of a secondary supraclavicular flap. Thus, this study aims to clarify the feasibility of harvesting the PATA flap in the greatest number of patients. The objective is to study the variations of the anterior thoracic perforating artery necessary for the creation of this flap, by specifying its vascularization territory and its characteristics.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether an upfront invasive strategy of TEVAR plus medical therapy reduces the occurrence of a composite endpoint of all-cause death or major aortic complications compared to an upfront conservative strategy of medical therapy with surveillance for deterioration in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.
