[PMID: 38532449 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02642-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cabrol procedure has undergone various modifications and developments since its invention. However, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding meta-analyses assessing it. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and long-term outcomes of the Cabrol procedure and its modifications. Pooling was conducted using random effects model. Outcome events were reported as linearized occurrence rates (percentage per patient-year) with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS A total of 14 studies involving 833 patients (mean age: 50.8 years; 68.0% male) were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled all-cause early mortality was 9.0% (66 patients), and the combined rate of reoperation due to bleeding was 4.9% (17 patients). During the average 4.4-year follow-up (3,727.3 patient-years), the annual occurrence rates (linearized) for complications were as follows: 3.63% (2.79-4.73) for late mortality, 0.64% (0.35-1.16) for aortic root reoperation, 0.57% (0.25-1.31) for hemorrhage events, 0.66% (0.16-2.74) for thromboembolism, 0.60% (0.29-1.26) for endocarditis, 2.32% (1.04-5.16) for major valve-related adverse events, and 0.58% (0.34-1.00) for Cabrol-related coronary graft complications. CONCLUSION This systematic review provides evidence that the outcomes of the Cabrol procedure and its modifications are acceptable in terms of mortality, reoperation, anticoagulation, and valve-related complications, especially in Cabrol-related coronary graft complications. Notably, the majority of Cabrol procedures were performed in reoperations and complex cases. Furthermore, the design and anastomosis of the Dacron interposition graft for coronary reimplantation, considering natural anatomy and physiological hemodynamics, may promise future advancements in this field.

Open Heart 2023; 10:e002465. [PMID: 38070883 PMCID: PMC10729034 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2023-002465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cabrol shunt has been introduced for surgical repair of type A aortic dissection (TAAD) without robust evidence supporting its routine preventive use. METHODS Adult patients with TAAD from China 5A study were included if surgically repaired between 2016 and 2022. Primary outcome was operative mortality according to Society of Thoracic Surgeons criterion. Overall, we compared clinical outcomes in patients with and without Cabrol shunt, and subgroup analysis were further examined between Cabrol shunt and outcome among patients with or without root replacement. RESULTS 3283 patients were finally identified for analysis, with median age of 51 (IQR 41-59) years, 2389 men, and 2201 treated with Cabrol shunt technique. Cabrol shunt-treated patients were more severely ill before surgery than those without Cabrol shunt. Overall, the rate of operative mortality was 6.6% (146/2201 in Cabrol shunt group and 71/1082 in non-Cabrol shunt group), with no association between Cabrol shunt and operative mortality (OR 1.012 (95% CI 0.754 to 1.357); p=0.938). Stratified by root replacement, Cabrol shunt was associated with similar risk of operative mortality either in patients without root replacement (OR 1.054 (0.747 to 1.487); p=0.764) or in patients with root replacement (OR 1.194 (0.563 to 2.536); p=0.644) (P interaction=0.765). Results were similar in multiple sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION Cabrol shunt was not associated with either a greatly lowered or an increased risk of operative mortality, regardless of aortic root replacement. Our study did not support the use of Cabrol shunt as a routine preventive strategy in the treatment of TAAD. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04398992.

Abstract
Objective Surgeons shy away from using the Cabrol fistula (perigraft space to right atrium [RA] shunt) due to unfamiliarity, concern for persistent left-to-right shunting, and fear of "painting-over" anastomotic defects that will result in later problems. We review nearly 2 decades of experience with application of the Cabrol fistula in a large thoracic aortic practice, with emphasis on precise surgical techniques, early and late outcomes, and detailed radiographic analysis. Methods Operative records of all procedures in which the Cabrol fistula was used were retrieved and analyzed, with precise review of the details of construction of each Cabrol fistula and clinical and radiologic (echocardiographic and computed tomographic) patient follow-up. Results The Cabrol fistula successfully controlled the bleeding in all cases. There were no late false aneurysms at any anastomotic sites. There was no continued flow through any fistula. Good perioperative and long-term survival was achieved in these complex cases that found themselves at a very dangerous crux before application of the Cabrol fistula. Conclusions The Cabrol fistula is an important tool for the thoracic aortic surgeon to have in the toolbox. We found the Cabrol fistula to be extremely effective at controlling bleeding, with no late persistent fistula flow and no late false aneurysm formation. Without the fistula, outcome in these patients would likely have been lethal. We recommend the Cabrol fistula technique strongly for life-saving application in rare cases of bleeding uncontrollable by conventional methods.

Abstract
Aortopulmonary fistula secondary to a large pseudoaneurysm after a Bentall procedure is a rare but complex complication. Herein, we report a case of Cabrol shunt obliteration and pseudoaneurysm formation three months after a Bentall procedure. The patient also presented with congestive heart failure due to an aortopulmonary fistula six years later. Surgery was successfully performed to repair the dehiscence of the biliteral coronary ostia and the aortopulmonary fistula, and to replace the ascending aorta. Postoperatively, the patient recovered uneventfully.

Abstract
Background: Aortic valve and root replacement (AVRR) is a standardised procedure to treat patients with aortic valve and root disease. In centres with a well-established aortic valve and root repair program (valve repairs and Ross operations), only patients with very complex conditions receive AVRR; this procedure uses a mechanical or biological composite valve graft (modified Bentall-de Bono procedure). The aim of the study was to evaluate the short- and long-term results after AVRR in a high-risk population with complex pathologies. Methods: Between 2005 and 2018, a total of 273 consecutive patients (mean age 64 ± 12.8 years; 23% female) received AVRR. The indication for surgery was an acute type A aortic dissection in 18%, infective endocarditis in 36% and other pathologies in 46% patients; 39% were redo procedures. The median EuroSCORE II was 11.65% (range 1.48-95.63%). Concomitant surgery was required in 157 patients (58%). Results: The follow-up extended to 5.2 years (range 0.1-15 years) and it was complete in 96% of the patients. The 30-day mortality was 17%. The overall estimated survival at 5 and 10 years was 65% ± 3% and 49% ± 4%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed the following risk factors for survival: perioperative neurological dysfunction (OR 5.45), peripheral artery disease (OR 4.4) and re-exploration for bleeding (OR 3.37). Conclusions: AVRR can be performed with acceptable short- and long-term results in a sick patient population. The Bentall-De Bono procedure may be determined to be suitable for only elderly or high-risk patients. Any other patients should receive an AV repair or the Ross procedure in well-established centres.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extensive infective endocarditis stays a serious life-threatening disease with high mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study is to analyze our experience with our modified surgical technique for extensive infective endocarditis during the last 4 years. METHODS Between March 2017 and February 2021, all patients with extensive infective endocarditis required our modified technique consisting of a radical surgical resection of all infected cardiac tissues, the replacement of infected valves, and a reconstruction of the intervalvular fibrous body, the aortic root and the left ventricular outflow tract with modified elephant trunk were included in this study. RESULTS Our modified technique was performed on 41 patients during the study period. The age median was 74 (IQR: 66.5 - 76.5) and 61.0% (n = 25) were female. 33 patients (80.5%) were in New York Heart Association Class III-IV and 7 patients (17.1%) in cardiogenic shock. The median logistic EuroSCORE II as predicted risk of mortality was 35% (IQR: 28% - 78%). Median cardiopulmonary bypass time and cross-clamping time were 126 (IQR: 86.5-191) min and 78 (IQR: 55.5-108) min, respectively. Intraoperative mortality and 30-day mortality were 4.8% (2 patients) and 19.5% (8 patients), respectively. Low cardiac output with necessity for mechanical support, stroke and new renal dialysis developed in 9.8% (4 patients), 17.1% (7 patients), and 22.0% (9 patients), respectively. New pacemaker implantation was noted in 39.0% (16 patients). Intensive care stay and hospital stay had medians of 6 (IQR: 5-12) and 14 (IQR: 12.5-20.5) days, respectively. One-year mortality and 4-years mortality were 34.1% (14 patients) and 39.0% (16 patients), respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were 60.3% (95% CI: 46.2 - 78.6%) at 3 years. CONCLUSIONS Our modified technique can be performed in patients with extensive infective endocarditis with acceptable early and mid-term morbidity and mortality. We believe that this technique is an available option for this ill-fated group of patients.

Serna-Gallegos D, Brown JA, Ridgley J, Aranda-Michel E, Navid F, Wang Y, Thoma FW, Sultan I. Long-term outcomes of patients undergoing mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement. J Card Surg 2022; 37:1861-1867. [PMID: 35488772 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the impact of valve type (mechanical vs. bioprosthetic) on survival after aortic root replacement (ARR). METHODS In a propensity-matched analysis, we evaluated consecutive operations from 2010 to 2018. Patients were identified using a prospectively maintained institutional database. Patients with infective endocarditis were excluded. Kaplan-Meier survival estimation and multivariable Cox regression analysis were performed. Cox regression adjusted for age, sex, baseline comorbidities, and operative variables. Propensity score matching yielded 153 pairs of patients. RESULTS A total of 893 patients were identified. We excluded 192 patients with endocarditis and evaluated 701 patients. Of these patients, 455 (64.9%) received a bioprosthetic valve, 246 (35.1%) received a mechanical valve. Median follow-up was 4.06 years. The proportion of aortic dissections and circulatory arrest as well as cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic times were similar across groups (p = .207, p = .086, p = .668, p = .454, respectively). Operative mortality was significantly higher in the bioprosthetic valve group (7.9% vs. 2.4%, p = .004). Total length of hospital stay was longer (11.4 ± 11.0 vs. 9.5 ± 10.1, p < .001) and there was a higher proportion of prolonged postoperative ventilation >24 h (21.3% vs. 13.0%, p = .007) in the bioprosthetic group. Postoperative outcomes were similar, regarding stroke (p = .077), re-exploration for bleeding (p = .211), new dialysis requirement (p = .077), long-term bleeding complications (p = .561), and reoperations (p = .755). Mechanical valve replacement was associated with improved long-term survival (adjusted HR 0.42, 95% CI: 0.23-0.77, p = .005). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that mechanical valves for ARRs may confer a survival benefit over bioprosthetic valves. Surgeon bias was likely to account for this survival advantage.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly that typically presents within the first year of life but can also sporadically present in adults. ALCAPA, if left untreated, can lead to coronary ischemia and sudden death.
Case presentation
We present the case of a 32-year-old male with ALCAPA with ischemic cardiomyopathy and the anomalous left main coronary originating from the non-facing sinus of the pulmonary artery (PA). A posterior reimplantation of the anomalous coronary artery was accomplished with a modified Cabrol technique using synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft.
Conclusions
A posterior re-implantation technique using a modified Cabrol graft, in cases where length of the native button is challenging, has excellent outcomes for this rather rare and challenging clinical entity.

Case Report: Intravascular Ultrasound-guided Intervention for Anastomosis Stenosis of the Left Main Coronary Artery Post-Cabrol Technique. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:778815. [PMID: 35310967 PMCID: PMC8926074 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.778815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Some cases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the anastomotic site between the Cabrol-type conduit and the left main coronary artery (LMCA) have been reported. Nevertheless, the combination of PCI with a detailed description of lesion appearance using virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) has never been reported. In this study, we present a case of acute myocardial infarction that was successfully treated with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI for focal stenosis at the anastomotic site, and the plaque composition was studied in detail. Case Presentation A 35-year-old Korean male with Behçet's disease was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. He had previously undergone three cardiothoracic surgeries including two aortic replacements, followed by modified Bentall operation with a Cabrol-type aortocoronary anastomosis. Coronary angiogram (CAG) showed focal critical stenosis at the anastomosis site between the conduit and the LMCA, and VH-IVUS showed fibrotic plaque with mainly fibrous tissue but without a confluent necrotic core. PCI was performed using a drug-eluting stent (4.5 × 12 mm, SynergyTM, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA). Since a repeat CAG and IVUS post-surgery showed an under-expanded stent strut, post-dilation ballooning was additionally performed. Subsequently, the repeat IVUS revealed wellapposed and optimized deployment of the drug-eluting stent with full lesion coverage. Final CAG showed optimal angiographic results. After successful PCI, the patient's anginal symptoms improved dramatically, and he was successfully discharged from our hospital. Conclusion This study presents an IVUS-guided PCI case for an anastomotic site between the conduit and the LMCA. It is the first to investigate the characteristics of this lesion through VH-IVUS, which demonstrated the presence of fibrous plaques at the anastomotic site. IVUS radiofrequency data allow for a detailed assessment of plaque composition and provide new insights into the histopathological nature of stenotic lesions at the anastomotic site, especially in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases like Behçet's disease.

Abstract
Coexisting coronary artery disease is a significant risk factor of untoward outcomes after surgical and endovascular aortic repair. This article reviewed the data, consensus, and remaining controversy about the diagnosis and management of coexisting coronary artery disease in the patients who require intervention for aortic aneurysm and dissection. It can be summarized as follows: (1) the current guidelines generally recommend the same diagnostic algorithm, including indications of coronary artery angiography, as one for non-surgical patients; (2) they also recommend the same indications of coronary revascularization; and (3) there are minor, but important, remaining issues regarding the details of management and surgical techniques most of which are still at the discretion of individual surgeons and institutions. Because it is not likely to get large-scale investigational data about these issues, the collection of individual experiences should be promoted in future scientific meetings to build up the consensus.

Abstract
Simultaneous replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve has always been a challenging procedure. Introduction of composite conduits, through various ingenious procedures and their modifications, has changed the outlook of patients with aortic valve disease and ascending aorta pathology. In the past 70 years, progress of surgical techniques and prosthetic materials has allowed such patients to undergo radical procedures providing excellent early and long-term results in both young and elderly patients. This article aims to review the most important technical advances in the treatment of aortic valve disease and ascending aorta aneurysms recognizing the important contributions in this field.

Abstract
While many of the classic open surgical repairs are still used to repair the ascending aorta, management of the aortic arch has become more complex via implementation of newer open surgical and endovascular techniques. Furthermore, techniques are often combined in novel repairs or to allow extended anatomic coverage. As such, a framework that rests on understanding the expected postoperative appearance is necessary for the diagnostic radiologist to best interpret CT studies in these patients. After reviewing the imaging appearances of the common components used in proximal aortic repair, the authors present a structured approach that focuses on the key relevant questions that diagnostic radiologists should consider when interpreting CT studies in these patients. For repair of the ascending aorta, this includes determining whether the aortic valve has been repaired, whether the sinuses of Valsalva have been repaired, and how the coronary arteries were managed, when necessary. In repairs that involve the aortic arch, the relevant considerations relate to management of the arch vessels and the distal extent of the repair. In focusing on these questions, the diagnostic radiologist will be able to identify and describe the vast majority of repairs. Understanding these questions will also facilitate improved understanding of novel repairs, which often use these basic building blocks. Finally, complications-which typically involve infection, noninfectious repair breakdown, hemorrhage, problems with endografts, or disease of the remaining adjacent aorta-will be identifiable as deviations from the expected postoperative appearance.

Abstract
Coronary artery interventions and surgical procedures are used in the treatment of coronary artery disease and some congenital heart diseases. Cardiac and noncardiac complications can occur at variable times after these procedures, with the clinical presentation ranging from asymptomatic to devastating symptoms. Invasive coronary angiography is the reference standard modality used in the evaluation of coronary arteries, with intravascular US and optical coherence tomography providing high-resolution information regarding the vessel wall. CT is the mostly commonly used noninvasive imaging modality in the evaluation of coronary artery intervention complications and allows assessment of the stent, lumen of the stent, lumen of the coronary arteries, and extracoronary structures. MRI is limited to the evaluation of the proximal coronary arteries but allows comprehensive evaluation of the myocardium, including ischemia and infarction. The authors review the clinical symptoms and pathophysiologic and imaging features of various complications of coronary artery interventions and surgical procedures. Complications of percutaneous coronary interventions are discussed, including restenosis, thrombosis, dissection of coronary arteries or the aorta, coronary wall rupture or perforation, stent deployment failure, stent fracture, stent infection, stent migration or embolism, and reperfusion injury. Complications of several surgical procedures are reviewed, including coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary artery reimplantation procedure (for anomalous origin from opposite sinuses or the pulmonary artery or as part of surgical procedures such as arterial switching surgery and the Bentall and Cabrol procedures), coronary artery unroofing, and the Takeuchi procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Bentall procedure is a common surgical treatment for aortic root replacement in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) with some complications which affect postoperative efficacy. We innovatively modified the Bentall procedure and investigated its short-term efficacy. METHODS From March 2017 to March 2019, 77 cases with ATAAD in our department underwent total arch replacement and frozen elephant trunk technique following prior Bentall procedure. They were divided into three groups. In modified-Bentall group, 20 patients underwent a modified Bentall surgery. In Bentall-inclusion group, coronary ostia inclusion anastomosis and Cabrol shunt were performed in 32 patients. In Bentall-button group, coronary ostia button anastomosis was used to 25 cases. RESULTS No intraoperative deaths occurred in three groups. Operation time, CPB time, and aortic cross-clamp time in modified-Bentall group was longer than those in Bentall-inclusion group (P<0.05), but the number of RBC transfusion and postoperative drainage volume decreased compared with Bentall-button group (P<0.05). One patient with mesenteric malperfusion syndrome died after surgery in modified-Bentall group, 2 patients died in Bentall-inclusion group, and 1 patient died in Bentall-button group. No coronary anastomotic leak and vena cava-right atrium shunt signal occurred in modified-Bentall group, and there was no contrast extravasation and no pseudoaneurysm formation in the aortic root. The cardiac function of patients was grade I-II. CONCLUSIONS This novel modified procedure is feasible and can significantly reduce postoperative complications with satisfactory short-term efficacy in ATAAD.

Abstract
Postoperative coronary artery complications after Bentall procedures are well recognised but are rare and potentially fatal. There have been only five cases documenting percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for right coronary artery (RCA) involvements after button Bentall procedures. We describe a case of postoperative silent myocardial ischaemia in a 72-year-old man who underwent the button Bentall procedure for a right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. On postoperative day 15, an RCA complication was incidentally detected by follow-up multidetector CT. Coronary angiography showed proximal RCA kinking, which was not an anastomosis but a native coronary artery. The patient underwent a successful PCI with drug-eluting stent implantation. We reviewed six cases consisting of this case and five previous cases treated with PCI. These cases enhance the recognition of potential RCA complications after the button Bentall procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial upper sternotomy (mini-ER) can be used in some adult cardiac surgeries but is seldom performed in the treatment of acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD). This study aimed to assess the feasibility and short-term outcomes of complete stent-graft replacement of the arch with triple-branched stent graft for AAAD through a mini-ER. METHODS From 2015 to 2018, 254 patients with AAAD underwent complete stent-graft replacement of the arch with a triple-branched stent graft. Replacement was performed with conventional full sternotomy (con-ER) in 142 patients and with mini-ER in the other 112 patients. Using propensity score matching, the clinical data were compared between 100 patients in the mini-ER group and 100 patients in the con-ER group. RESULTS After propensity score matching, there were no significant between-group differences in aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, or total operative time. The amount of mediastinal drainage and number of red blood cell units were significantly lower in the mini-ER group compared with the con-ER group (P < .001). The intubation time was significantly shorter in the mini-ER group (P < .001). The treatment costs were also lower in the mini-ER group (P < .001). There were no significant between-group differences in 30-day mortality (9% vs 8%; P > .99) or postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that extensive repair of AAAD through a mini-ER is feasible. It was superior to con-ER in terms of blood loss, postoperative ventilation time, and treatment costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) is rapidly fatal without emergency repair. Surgical outcomes have improved over the years with improvements in technique and postoperative care. Classically, supracomissural aortic replacement has been the standard of care. However, reintervention rates, particularly on the aortic root in certain groups of patients, shifted the focus towards improving long-term results of surgical repair. With regard to the aortic root, root replacement has been the gold standard. However, the surgical community realized that valve replacement in itself is a disease, and valve sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) took center stage in the care of these patients. METHODS We searched the Pubmed and EMBASE databases for articles related to VSRR and composite valve conduit (CVC) root replacement, and the long-term results of these techniques in TAAAD. RESULTS Supracomissural repair is limited by reintervention, and CVC results are affected by complications related to the prosthetic valve. Conversely, VSRR is associated with good short-term outcomes, improvement in quality of life, and it is durable. CONCLUSION VSRR is a sound technique in TAAAD in experienced hands.

Abstract
Endocarditis is a devastating complication of prosthetic aortic valve replacement. The infective process can destroy aortic annulus tissue, making conventional surgical valve replacement difficult or impossible and causing aortoventricular discontinuity. Several treatment techniques have been proposed. One of these, the Danielson technique, involves translocating the aortic valve to the native ascending aorta, débriding the abscess cavity, closing the coronary ostia, and bypassing the coronary arteries with a Y anastomosis between 2 vein grafts. We describe our use of a modified Danielson technique in a 68-year-old man with advanced prosthetic valve endocarditis that was associated with aortic annulus destruction and aortoventricular discontinuity. This modified technique enables safer, more secure anchoring of a replacement valve, reduces the risks and concerns associated with bypass grafts, and successfully treats aortoventricular discontinuity.

Abstract
Percutaneous intervention for surgical reconstruction of a coronary artery is a challenging and complex procedure for interventional cardiologists. Particularly in settings of acute coronary syndrome, urgent revascularization may be critical for the prognosis of patients. Therefore, it is important that physicians have knowledge of various surgical techniques for coronary reconstruction. The Cabrol procedure is one of the surgical techniques after aortic root replacement, but it is rarely used at present. Here we describe a case of successful percutaneous revascularization for an occluded left Cabrol graft in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. <Learning objective: Percutaneous intervention for surgical reconstruction of coronary artery is challenging. In coronary artery reconstruction, computed tomography angiography might be extremely useful. We describe a case of successful percutaneous revascularization for the occluded left Cabrol graft.>.

Abstract
Development of fistulae between the aneurysm sac and aortic graft can be a potential source of thrombi in patients treated with surgical aortic root replacement. Transesophageal echocardiography is an effective tool to assess post-operative complications of the Cabrol procedure. Post-operative complications of the Cabrol procedure can have a very delayed initial presentation.

Abstract
Cabrol shunt and several of its modifications have been used as adjunctive procedures to control inaccessible bleeding occurring after aortic root surgeries. Nevertheless, the hemostatic effect of the shunt is suboptimal when the reconstructive procedure extends to the aortic arch and coronary arteries. We propose a "Mantle-style" modified Cabrol shunt to facilitate hemostasis of the exsanguination from the neo-root after aortic root replacement with concomitant arch and coronary reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Open repair of acute type A aortic dissection frequently results in oozing from the suture lines. A modified fistula technique was developed to rapidly control oozing and allow closing the chest immediately and safely. The efficiency of this modified fistula technique in surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection was evaluated. METHODS This was a retrospective study. From January 2015 to December 2016, 172 patients with acute type A aortic dissection underwent emergency surgical repair in our center. Among them, 76 were treated with the modified Cabrol fistula technique (fistula group), and the others did not receive this modified technique (nonfistula group). The clinical data of all patients were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS The preoperative data, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic crossclamp time, selective cerebral perfusion, and lower body arrest time of the 2 groups were similar. The chest closure time was shorter in the fistula group. The postoperative drainage, amount of red blood cell transfusion, incidence of reopening for hemostasis, mechanical ventilation support time, duration of intensive care unit stay, incidence of postoperative dialysis, and 30-day mortality were significantly lower in the fistula group than in the nonfistula group. CONCLUSIONS During surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection, a modified Cabral fistula technique can rapidly control oozing and effectively improve the short-term outcomes.

Abstract
The interposition graft could be used for difficult coronary reconstruction during aortic root replacement. We introduced a new technique that utilizes side branch of an aortic graft to facilitate coronary reconstruction. The present study describes this technique and its outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed 234 patient charts of those who underwent aortic root replacement between January 2013 and November 2017. Within this group, 6 patients required coronary reconstruction with branches of aortic graft and were included in this study. All patients were reoperative cases, 3 of which were for acute type A aortic dissection. The mean cardiopulmonary and aortic cross clamp times were 317.2 ± 35.1 minutes and 153.3 ± 75.4 minutes, respectively. All patients survived to discharge with a median hospital stay of 20.5 days (interquartile range: 13.75-27.75). During a median follow-up of 221 days (interquartile range: 197.78-1208), no patients experienced major adverse cardiovascular events. Four patients underwent radiographic follow-up, which confirmed patent interposition grafts (5/5). The use of branches from the aortic graft for coronary reconstruction is feasible with satisfactory outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY The replacement of a failed composite valve graft is technically more demanding and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We present our technique and outcomes for reoperations for composite graft failures. METHODS Between September 2011 and June 2017, 14 patients underwent a redo composite graft replacement. Twelve patients (85.7%) were male, and mean age was 58.4 years ± 12 standard deviation (SD). One patient had two previous root replacements. Indications for reoperation were endocarditis (8), aortic pseudoaneurysm (3), and aortic prosthesis thrombosis (3). Mean logistic EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II were 30.8% and 14.7%, respectively. RESULTS A mechanical composite graft was used in 12 patients and biological composite grafts were used in two patients. Hospital mortality was 14.3% (n = 2). One patient (7.1%) required reoperation for bleeding, One patient (7.1%) had mechanical ventilation >24 h, and four patients (28.6%) required implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Median intensive care unit and hospital stays were 3 days (interquartile range [IQR] 1-5) and 10 days (IQR 6.5-38.5). One patient experienced recurrent prosthetic valve endocarditis 14 months after operation. On follow-up, 11 of 12 survivors were in New York Heart Association class I or II. Survival at 3 years was 85.7% ± 9.4% SD. CONCLUSIONS Composite valve graft replacement can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality with good mid-term survival.

Abstract
Techniques for repair of the aorta currently include open and endovascular methods, hybrid approaches, minimally-invasive techniques, and aortic branch vessel reimplantation or bypass. Collaboration among radiologists and vascular and cardiothoracic surgeons is essential. An awareness of the various surgical techniques, expected postoperative appearance, and potential complications is essential for radiologists. This review will cover the postoperative appearance of the thoracic aorta with a focus on the ascending aorta. The value of three-dimensional image evaluation will also be emphasized.

Abstract
Long-term patency of modified Cabrol technique in composite aortic root replacement is not well documented. We report a unique case in which a patient presented for prosthetic valve dysfunction with patent Cabrol grafts 22 years after composite root replacement requiring redo aortic root. This case also demonstrates how modified Cabrol grafts can be reutilized in aortic root replacement without compromising adequate fluid dynamics.

Abstract
Advancements in image-based computational modeling are producing increasingly more realistic representations of vasculature and hemodynamics, but so far have not compensated for cardiac motion when imposing inflow boundary conditions. The effect of cardiac motion on aortic flow is important when assessing sequelae in this region including coarctation of the aorta (CoA) or regurgitant fraction. The objective of this investigation was to develop a method to assess and correct for the influence of cardiac motion on blood flow measurements through the aortic valve (AoV) and to determine its impact on patient-specific local hemodynamics quantified by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A motion-compensated inflow waveform was imposed into the CFD model of a patient with repaired CoA that accounted for the distance traveled by the basal plane during the cardiac cycle. Time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) values were compared with CFD results of the same patient using the original waveform. Cardiac motion resulted in underestimation of flow during systole and overestimation during diastole. Influences of inflow waveforms on TAWSS were greatest along the outer wall of the ascending aorta (AscAo) (∼30 dyn/cm2). Differences in TAWSS were more pronounced than those from the model creation or mesh dependence aspects of CFD. TKE was slightly higher for the motion-compensated waveform throughout the aortic arch. These results suggest that accounting for cardiac motion when quantifying blood flow through the AoV can lead to different conclusions for hemodynamic indices, which may be important if these results are ultimately used to predict patient outcomes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the hemodynamic characteristics and early clinical results of a commercially available standard aortic conduit with those of a modified valved composite graft, which consists of a mechanical valve prosthesis sewn into a vascular tube and placed in a supraannular position. The modified conduit was placed in 40 patients (group 1) and the standard conduit in another 40 patients (group 2). The early postoperative mortality rates (within 30 days after surgery) were 0% in group 1 and 5% (2 patients) in group 2; the difference was not statistically significant. The mean geometric orifice area of the valve prosthesis was significantly larger in group 1 than in group 2 (3.7 ± 0.7 cm2 versus 2.9 ± 0.5 cm2). Early results showed a hemodynamic advantage of the modified conduit, with significantly lower transvalvular gradients.

Abstract
Between September 1989 and June 2004, 148 consecutive patients underwent ascending aortic replacement for aneurysm or dissection. There were 130 males (88%) and 18 females (12%). Their mean age was 46.20 ± 13.36 years. Fifty-seven patients (39%) were treated for type 1 and type 2 aortic dissection, and 91 (61%) for ascending aortic aneurysm. The Bentall procedure was performed in 81 patients (55%), the Cabrol procedure in 7 (5%), separate ascending aortic replacement and aortic valve replacement or repair was carried out in 24 (16%), and ascending aortic replacement only in 36 (24%). Hospital mortality was 4.05% (6 deaths). On univariate analysis, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 30%, emergency surgery, contained rupture, concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting, and age ≥ 65 years were risk factors for early mortality. However, on multivariate analysis, ejection fraction ≤ 30% and contained rupture were the only factors significantly associated with early mortality. The long-term survival rates were 87.2% ± 3.7% at 5 years, 78.0% ± 5.6% at 10 years, and 60.9% ± 9.9% at 15 years. Ascending aortic resection for aneurysm or dissection can be performed with low mortality and morbidity.

Abstract
Between 1984 and 1993, 20 patients underwent reoperation for the thoracic aorta or ascending aorta and aortic valve. There were 14 male and 6 female patients who ranged in age from 28 to 70 years with a mean of 53.2 years. The mean interval between initial operation and the 2nd operation was 70.4 months. Of the 20 patients, 6 had stigmata of Marfan's syndrome. The primary aortic pathology requiring initial operation was annuloaortic ectasia in 10 patients, aortic valvular disease in 5, aortic dissection in 3, and mega aorta syndrome, aortic aneurysm in multiple segments, or aortic arch aneurysm in 1 each. Cause of reoperation was pseudoaneurysm formation at suture lines in the ascending aorta in 6 patients, new or progressive dilatation in the remaining aortic segment in 5, new or persistent aortic dissection in 4, graft infection in 2, and recurrent aortic arch aneurysm in 1. The remaining 2 patients received a planned two-stage operation for multiple aneurysms or mega aorta syndrome. Six patients died early after reoperation, yielding a hospital mortality rate of 30%; however, 3 of the 6 deaths were related to a compromised preoperative clinical condition and 1 to perioperative contamination. Two operative deaths (10%) were related to operative techniques. Results suggest application of separate grafts for coronary artery reattachment, as in the Cabrol or Piehler techniques, or the aortic button technique for aortic root replacement, may help eliminate pseudoaneurysm formation, which is one of the major complications after operations on the ascending aorta. It is also suggested that early diagnosis and prompt operative treatment for recurrent or residual aneurysmal diseases of the aorta may be essential for successful definitive treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Aortic root replacement using a composite graft is the treatment of choice for a large variety of aortic root conditions with a diseased aortic valve. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the long-term results of this procedure. METHODS Between 1978 and 2010, 1045 patients aged 58.7 ± 13.6 years underwent aortic root composite graft replacement using the following techniques: 95 Bentall operation; 926 the "button technique;" 24 the Cabrol technique. A mechanical composite valve graft was implanted in 69.6% of the patients. Six-hundred and thirty-five patients (62.3%) had annuloaortic ectasia and 162 (15.5%) had aortic dissection. RESULTS Early mortality was 5.3% (55/1045). Independent risk factors for early mortality at logistic regression analysis were age ≥70 years (P = .051; odds ratio [OR], 2.97), New York Heart Association III-IV (P = .052; OR, 1.88), reoperation (P = .021; OR, 2.36), urgency/emergency (P = .003; OR, 3.09), mitral valve replacement (P = .001; OR, 6.01), or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (P < .001; OR, 4.39); while bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) (P = .013; OR, 0.21), and time of operation 2001-2011 (P = .025; OR, 0.60) were protective predictors for early mortality. Overall survival at 5, 10, and 20 years was 84.1% ± 1.3%, 65.5% ± 2.6%, and 40.7% ± 4.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed chronic renal insufficiency (P = .001; hazard ratio [HR], 3.48), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P = .027; HR, 1.94), aortic dissection (P = .001; HR, 2.63), Cabrol technique (P = .009; HR, 15.34), and CABG (P = .016; HR, 2.02) to be significant predictors of late death, and BAV (P = .010; HR, 0.43) to be a significant protective predictor. Freedom from thromboembolism, bleeding complications, and endocarditis was 93.7% ± 2.6%, 90.3% ± 3.1%, and 98.4% ± 1% at 20 years, respectively. Freedom from aortic reoperation was 91.8% ± 2.1% at 20 years and was significantly lower in patients with aortic dissection. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this retrospective study, we can conclude that aortic root replacement for aortic root aneurysms can be performed with low morbidity and mortality and with satisfactory long-term results. Few late serious complications were related to the need for long-term anticoagulation or a prosthetic valve. Reoperation on the proximal or in the distal aorta was most commonly performed in patients with aortic dissection.

Abstract
Three-dimensional datasets acquired using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are ideally suited for characterization of the aortic root. These modalities offer different advantages and limitations, which must be weighed according to the clinical context. This article provides an overview of current aortic root imaging, highlighting normal anatomy, pathologic conditions, imaging techniques, measurement thresholds, relevant surgical procedures, postoperative complications and potential imaging pitfalls. Patients with a range of clinical conditions are predisposed to aortic root disease, including Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Loeys-Dietz syndrome. Various surgical techniques may be used to repair the aortic root, including placement of a composite valve graft, such as the Bentall and Cabrol procedures; placement of an aortic root graft with preservation of the native valve, such as the Yacoub and David techniques; and implantation of a biologic graft, such as a homograft, autograft, or xenograft. Potential imaging pitfalls in the postoperative period include mimickers of pathologic processes such as felt pledgets, graft folds, and nonabsorbable hemostatic agents. Postoperative complications that may be encountered include pseudoaneurysms, infection, and dehiscence. Radiologists should be familiar with normal aortic root anatomy, surgical procedures, and postoperative complications, to accurately interpret pre- and postoperative imaging performed for evaluation of the aortic root. Online supplemental material is available for this article.
