Abstract
BACKGROUND Immediate surgery to save life is the recommended treatment for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAAD). METHOD The present study comprised 35 patients admitted with AAAD who were considered inappropriate candidates for surgery or declined surgery. The mean age was 84.5 ± 9.6 years. Eight patients who were considered inappropriate candidates for surgery due to severe stroke in 2 patients or hemodynamic instability in 6. Twenty-seven patients aged 88.0 ± 5.9 years who declined surgery, predominantly due to advanced age. RESULTS The overall in-hospital mortality was 51.4%. Mortality among patients that declined surgery or were considered inappropriate candidates for surgery were 37% and 100%, respectively. Causes of death among patients that declined surgery were cardiac tamponade in 6 and aortic rupture in 4. Mid-term survival among patients who refuse surgery, including in-hospital death, were 51.6 ± 10% and 34.5 ± 10%, on the other hand, Mid-term survival in hospital survivors were 81.9 ± 9% and 54.8 ± 14%. The causes of death among the discharged patients were senility in three, malignant tumor in two, pneumonia, aortic rupture, and unknown cause in one each. CONCLUSIONS Mortality from AAAD is 51.4%, including inappropriate candidates for surgery. When patients were evaluated as suitable candidates for surgical intervention but subsequently refused the surgical procedure, in-hospital mortality was 37%. Long-term survival of hospital survivor was acceptable. These data can be a benchmark for patient and patient's family to select medical therapy for AAAD in consideration with the patient's will.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the surgical findings of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) based on the open-first strategy in the last decade, and to analyze the predictors of in-hospital mortality for RAAA in the endovascular era. METHODS The subjects of this retrospective study were 116 patients who underwent RAAA repair, for whom sufficient data were available [25% female, median age 76 (70-85) years]. Sixteen (13.8%) patients were managed with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and 100 patients (86.2%) were managed with open surgical repair (OSR). RESULTS Univariate analysis identified base excess (BE) (odds ratio [OR] 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.96; p = 0.006), and preoperative cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) [OR] 15.4; 95% [CI] 1.30-181; p = 0.030), BE (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.79-0.96; p = 0.006), shock index (OR 2.44; 95% CI 1.01-5.94; p = 0.050), lactic acid (Lac) (OR 1.18; 95% CI 1.02-1.36; p = 0.026), and blood sugar (BS) > 215 (OR 3.46; 95% CI 1.10-10.9; p = 0.034) as positive predictors of hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that a first-line strategy of OSR for ruptured AAAs is acceptable. Poor preoperative conditions, including a high shock index, CPA, low BE, high Lac, and a BS level > 215 mg/dl, were identified as predictors of hospital mortality, rather than the procedures themselves.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to determine the relationship between covering the intercostal artery branching of the Adamkiewicz artery (ICA-AKA) and spinal cord ischemia (SCI) during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Methods Patients who underwent TEVAR from 2008 to 2022 were enrolled. Stent grafts covered the ICA-AKA in 108 patients (covered AKA group) and stent grafts didn't cover the ICA-AKA in 114 patients (uncovered AKA group). The characteristics of 58 patients from each group were matched based on propensity scores. Results No significant differences in SCI rates were detected between the covered AKA (10%; 11/108) and uncovered AKA (3.5%; 4/114) groups (P = .061). Shaggy aorta (odds ratio [OR], 5.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.74-15.3, P = .003), iliac artery access (OR, 6.81; 95% CI, 2.22-20.9, P = .001), and procedural time (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00-1.02, P = .003) were risk factors for SCI in the entire cohort. Although covering the ICA-AKA (OR, 2.60; 95% CI, 0.86-7.88, P = .058) was not a significant risk factor, shaggy aorta (OR, 8.15; 95% CI, 2.07-32.1, P = .003), iliac artery access (OR, 9.09; 95% CI, 2.22-37.2, P = .002), and procedural time (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01-1.02, P = .008) were risk factors for SCI in the covered AKA group. No significant risk factors were detected in the uncovered AKA group. Conclusions Covering the ICA-AKA was not an independent risk for SCI in TEVAR. However, covering the ICA-AKA was indirectly associated with the risk of SCI in patients with shaggy aorta, iliac access, and procedural time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to reveal the association between lower-profile stent graft and embolism during thoracic endovascular aortic repair for non-dissecting distal arch and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm. METHODS This study reviewed data of 35 patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair with lower-profile stent graft (27 males; age: 77 ± 9.2 years) and 312 who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair with conventional-sized stent graft (247 males; age: 77 ± 7.4 years) from 2009 to 2021. RESULTS The rate of total embolic events was significantly lower in lower-profile stent graft group (0/35 [0%]) than the conventional-sized stent graft group (34/312 [11.2%]) (p = 0.035). Shaggy aorta (odds ratio: 5.220; p < 0.001) were identified as positive embolic event predictors. The rate of total embolic events in 68 patients with shaggy aorta (12 in lower-profile stent graft/56 in conventional-sized stent graft) was significantly lower in the lower-profile stent graft group (0/12 [0%]) than the conventional-sized stent graft group (19/56 [34%]) (p = 0.015). The rate of total embolic events in 279 patients with the non-shaggy aorta (23 in lower-profile stent graft/256 in conventional-sized stent graft) reveals no difference between the two groups (0 [0%]/16 [6.3%]) (p = 0.377). CONCLUSIONS Lower-profile stent graft usage could reduce embolism in thoracic endovascular aortic repair, and the difference was more pronounced in patients with the shaggy aorta. Lower-profile stent graft might be beneficial in preventing embolism in thoracic endovascular aortic repair for patients with a shaggy aorta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The optimal treatment for acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) with thrombosed false lumen (T-FL) of the ascending aorta remains controversial. This study aimed to the evaluate clinical outcomes of initial medical treatment (IMT) and the effectiveness of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for AAAD with T-FL. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 60 AAAD with T-FL patients. Emergent aortic repair was performed in 33 patients and IMT was selected in 27 uncomplicated patients with ascending aortic diameter < 50 mm and ascending T-FL thickness ≤ 10 mm. RESULTS Among the 27 patients who received IMT, 14 had intramural haematoma at admission; however, new ulcer-like projections appeared in 7 (50%) during hospitalization. Before discharge, 12 (44%) were treated with only medical treatment and 15 (56%) required delayed aortic repair including TEVAR in 8 and open repair in 7. The median interval from onset to delayed repair was 9 days and significantly more patients received TEVAR compared to those receiving emergent repair (53% vs 21%; P = 0.043). Between TEVAR (n = 15) and open repair (n = 33), one (7%) 30-day mortality occurred in TEVAR, whereas no in-hospital mortality occurred in open repair. During the median follow-up time of 24.8 months, no aorta-related death was observed and there were no statistically significant differences in the freedom rate from aortic events (TEVAR: 92.8%/3 years vs open repair: 88.4%/3 years; P = 0.871). CONCLUSIONS Our management with a combination of emergent aortic repair, IMT, and delayed aortic repair for AAAD with T-FL achieved favourable clinical outcomes. In the selected Japanese patients, IMT with repeated MDCT could detect a new intimal tear which could be closed by TEVAR in some cases and TEVAR for this pathology resulted in acceptable early and mid-term outcomes. Further investigations are required to validate the safety and efficacy of this management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The optimal indications and contra-indications for thoracic endovascular aortic repair of retrograde acute Stanford type A aortic dissection are not well known. The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair for retrograde acute Stanford type A aortic dissection at our institutions and discuss optimal indications. METHODS The medical records of 359 patients admitted to our institution for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection between December 2016 and December 2022 were reviewed, and 83 patients were finally diagnosed with retrograde acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. We selected thoracic endovascular aortic repair as an alternative, considering the anatomy of aortic dissection and the risk to patients undergoing open surgery. RESULTS Nineteen patients underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair for retrograde Stanford type A aortic dissection. No in-hospital mortality and neurological complication occurred. A Type Ia endoleak was detected in one patient. All other primary entries were successfully closed. All dissection-related complications, such as cardiac tamponade, malperfusion in distal to the primary entry, and abdominal aortic rupture, were resolved. One patient required open conversion for intimal injury at the proximal edge of the stent graft; all other ascending false lumens were completely thrombosed and contracted at discharge. During the follow-up period, no aortic-related deaths or aortic events proximal to the stent graft occurred. CONCLUSION The indications for thoracic endovascular aortic repair were expanded to low-risk and emergent cases at our institution, and the early- and mid-term outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair for retrograde Stanford type A aortic dissection were acceptable. Further long-term follow-up is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair (d-TEVAR) for zone 0 landing (Z0-TEVAR) remained challenging in aortic arch aneurysms. This study aimed to compare the mid-term outcomes between Z0-TEVAR and Z1/2-TEVAR to assess the appropriateness of Z0-TEVAR as the first-line therapy for aortic arch aneurysms in high-risk patients. METHODS Medical records of 200 patients who underwent d-TEVAR from 2007 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Of these, 40 patients who underwent Z0-TEVAR (70% males; the median age of 82 years) and 160 Z1/2-TEVAR (78% males; the median age of 77 years) were compared. In each group, 39 patients were matched using propensity scores (PS) to adjust for differences in patient backgrounds. RESULTS Freedom from all-cause mortality (p < 0.001), aorta-related mortality (p < 0.001), and stroke (p = 0.001) were significantly lower in Z0-TEVAR than in Z1/2-TEVAR. Freedom from reintervention was similar between the two groups (p = 0.326). Type A dissection post-TEVAR was observed in 3 (7.5%) of Z0-TEVAR, but none in Z1/2-TEVAR (p = 0.006). Pneumonia was also more frequent in Z0-TEVAR (n = 8, 30%) than Z1/2-TEVAR (n = 4, 2.5%) (p < 0.001). PS matching also yielded worse outcomes (all-cause mortality, p = 0.017; aorta-related mortality, p = 0.046; and stroke, p = 0.027) in Z0-TEVAR than Z1/2-TEVAR. CONCLUSIONS Higher mid-term mortality and stroke rates after Z0-TEVAR were confirmed by PS matching. Z0-TEVAR would be an alternative for high-risk patients with arch aneurysms requiring zone 0 landing but not a reliable method.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of preoperative patent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) on late outcomes following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the specific influence of IMA patency on 7-year outcomes after EVAR. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 556 EVARs performed for true abdominal aortic aneurysm cases between January 2006 and December 2019 at our institution were reviewed. Endovascular aneurysm repairs performed using a commercially available device with no type I or type III endoleak (EL) during follow-up and with follow-up ≥12 months were included. A total of 336 patients were enrolled in this study. The cohort was divided into the patent IMA group and the occluded IMA group according to preoperative IMA status. The late outcomes, including aneurysm sac enlargement, reintervention, and mortality rates, were compared between both groups using propensity-score-matched data. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 86 patients were included in each group. The median follow-up period was 56 months (interquartile range: 32-94 months). The incidence of type II EL at discharge was 50% in the patent IMA group and 19% in the occluded IMA group (p<0.001). The type II EL from IMA and lumbar arteries was significantly higher in the patent IMA group than in the occluded IMA group (p<0.001 and p=0.002). The rate of freedom from aneurysm sac enlargement with type II EL was significantly higher in the occluded IMA group than in the patent IMA group (94% vs 69% at 7 years; p<0.001). The rate of freedom from reintervention was significantly higher in the occluded IMA group than in the patent IMA group (90% vs 74% at 7 years; p=0.007). Abdominal aortic aneurysm-related death and all-cause mortality did not significantly differ between groups (p=0.32 and p=0.34). CONCLUSIONS Inferior mesenteric artery patency could affect late reintervention and aneurysm sac enlargement but did not have a significant impact on mortality. Preoperative assessment and embolization of IMA might be an important factor for improvement in late EVAR outcomes. CLINICAL IMPACT The preoperative patency of the inferior mesenteric artery was significantly associated with a higher incidence of sac enlargement and reintervention with type II endoleak following endovascular aneurysm repair, even after adjustment for patient background. Preoperative assessment and embolization of inferior mesenteric artery might be an important factor for improvement in late EVAR outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated whether prophylactic preoperative cerebrospinal fluid drainage was effective in preventing spinal cord ischaemia during thoracic endovascular aortic repair for degenerative descending thoracic aortic aneurysm, excluding dissecting aneurysms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of the patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair with proximal landing zones 3 and 4 for between 2009 and 2020. RESULTS Eighty-nine patients with preemptive cerebrospinal fluid drainage (68 men; median [range] age, 76.0 [71.0-81.0] years) and 115 patients without cerebrospinal fluid drainage (89 men; median [range] age, 77.0 [74.0-81.5] years) were included in this study. Among them, 59 from each group were matched based on propensity scores to regulate for differences in backgrounds. The incidence rate of spinal cord ischaemia was similar: 8/89 (9.0%) in the cerebrospinal fluid drainage group and 6/115 (5.2%) in the non-cerebrospinal fluid drainage group (p = 0.403). Shaggy aorta (odds ratio, 5.13; p = 0.004) and iliac artery access (odds ratio, 5.04; p = 0.005) were identified as positive predictors of spinal cord ischaemia. Other clinically important confounders included Adamkiewicz artery coverage (odds ratio, 2.53; p = 0.108) and extensive stent graft coverage (>8 vertebrae) (odds ratio, 1.41; p = 0.541) were not statistically significant. Propensity scores matching yielded similar incidence of spinal cord ischaemia: 4/59 (6.8%) in the cerebrospinal fluid drainage group and 3/59 (5.1%) in the non-cerebrospinal fluid drainage group (p = 0.697). CONCLUSIONS Aggressive use of prophylactic cerebrospinal fluid drainage was not supportive in patients without complex risks of spinal cord ischaemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The management of acute type A aortic dissection with malperfusion syndrome remains challenging. To evaluate preoperative condition, symptoms might be subjective and objective evaluation of cerebral artery has not yet been established. For quantitative evaluation, this study focused on brain computed tomography perfusion (CTP), which has been recommended by several guidelines of acute ischaemic stroke. METHODS In the last 2 years, 147 patients hospitalized due to acute type A aortic dissection were retrospectively reviewed. Among the 23 (16%) patients with cerebral malperfusion, 14 who underwent brain CTP (6 preoperative and 8 postoperative) were enrolled. CTP parameters, including regional blood flow and time to maximum, were automatically computed using RApid processing of Perfusion and Diffusion software. The median duration from the onset to hospital arrival was 129 (31-659) min. RESULTS Among the 6 patients who underwent preoperative CTP, 4 with salvageable ischaemic lesion (penumbra: 8-735 ml) without massive irreversible ischaemic lesion (ischaemic core: 0-31 ml) achieved acceptable neurological outcomes after emergency aortic replacement regardless of preoperative neurological severity. In contrast, 2 patients with an ischaemic core of >50 ml (73, 51 ml) fell into a vegetative state or neurological death due to intracranial haemorrhage. CTP parameters guided postoperative blood pressure augmentation without additional supra-aortic vessel intervention in the 8 patients who underwent postoperative CTP, among whom 6 achieved normal neurological function regardless of common carotid true lumen stenosis severity. CONCLUSIONS CTP was able to detect irreversible ischaemic core, guide critical decisions in preoperative patients and aid in determining the blood pressure augmentation for postoperative management focusing on residual brain ischaemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE This observational retrospective study aimed to identify preoperative blood test data capable of predicting preoperative shock in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). METHODS A total of 104 patients who underwent surgery for rAAA between 2007 and 2018 were reviewed. Preoperative shock, defined as a shock index (heart rate/blood pressure) exceeding 1.5 or a maximum blood pressure < 80 mmHg, was observed in 44 patients (42%). RESULTS Blood sugar (BS) (odds ratio [OR] 1.02; p < 0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP) (OR 0.57; p = 0.005), and hemoglobin (OR 0.60; p = 0.001) levels were identified as independent positive predictors of preoperative shock, and a BS level ≥ 300 mg/dl (OR 13.2; 95% CI 3.56-48.6; p < 0.001) was identified as a positive predictor of preoperative shock. The receiver operating characteristics curve analysis for BS showed that the area under the curve for the predicted probabilities was 0.84, and at a cut-off value of 215 mg/dl, the sensitivity of minimum BS for predicting preoperative shock was 86% with a specificity of 79%. CONCLUSIONS The BS level is as an independent predictor of preoperative shock in patients with rAAA. Patients with preoperative BS levels ≥ 300 mg/dl have an extremely high risk of preoperative shock.

Abstract
PURPOSE Zone 0 landing in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has recently gained increasing attention for the treatment of high-risk patients. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of total endovascular aortic arch repair between branched TEVAR (bTEVAR) and chimney TEVAR (cTEVAR) in the landing zone (LZ) 0. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective, and observational cohort study. From January 2010 to March 2020, 40 patients (bTEVAR, n=25; cTEVAR, n=15; median age: 79 years) were enrolled in this study, with a median follow-up period of 4.1 years. These patients were considered unsuitable for open surgical treatment. RESULTS All procedures were successful and no cases of conversion to open repair were noted during the 30-day postoperative period. The 30-day mortality was 2.5% (n=1; bTEVAR [0 of 25, 0%] vs cTEVAR [1 of 15, 6.7%]; p=0.375), the perioperative stroke rate was 10.0% (n=4; bTEVAR [4 of 25, 16.0%] vs cTEVAR [0 of 15, 0%], p=0.278), and type 1a endoleak rate was 15.0% (n=6; bTEVAR [0 of 25, 0%] vs cTEVAR [6 of 15, 40.0%], p=0.001). The risk factor for stroke was atheroma grade of ≥2 in the brachiocephalic artery (p<0.001). The risk factor for type 1a endoleak was cTEVAR (p=0.001). The 8-year survival rate was 49.9%. The aorta-related death-free rate and aortic event-free rate at 8 years were 94.4% (bTEVAR: 95.5% vs cTEVAR: 93.3%, p=0.504) and 60.7% (bTEVAR: 70.7% vs cTEVAR: 40.0%, p=0.048), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Total endovascular aortic arch repair using bTEVAR and cTEVAR is feasible for the treatment of aortic arch diseases in high-risk patients who are unsuitable for open surgery. However, as the rate of stroke is high, strict preoperative evaluation to prevent stroke is needed. No rupture of the aneurysm was observed in cTEVAR, but patients should be selected carefully because of the high incidence of type 1a endoleak.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the preoperative risk factors associated with the occurrence of type II endoleak (ETII) after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) have gradually become more evident, the preoperative risk factors associated with aneurysm sac enlargement caused by ETII remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the preoperative risk factors associated with aneurysm sac enlargement caused by ETII after EVAR. METHODS This retrospective cohort study reviewed 519 EVARs performed for true abdominal aortic aneurysm between January 2006 and December 2018 at our institution. EVARs using commercially available bifurcated devices with no type I or III endoleaks during follow-up and with ≥12 months follow-up were included. A total of 320 patients were enrolled in the study. To identify the preoperative risk factors of sac enlargement after EVAR, Cox regression analysis was used to assess preoperative data. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 60.8 months. Overall, 135 of 320 patients (42%) had ETII during follow-up, and 47 of 135 patients (35%) developed aneurysm sac enlargement. Multivariate analysis revealed that chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage ≥4 (hazard ratio [HR], 4.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.13-10.15; P = 0.001), patent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) (HR, 17.85; 95% CI, 2.46-129.73; P< 0.001), and number of patent lumbar arteries (LAs) (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.13-1.68; P= 0.002) were risk factors of aneurysm sac enlargement caused by ETII. CONCLUSIONS CKD stage ≥4, patent IMA, and number of patent LAs were independent risk factors for aneurysm sac enlargement after EVAR. In particular, patent IMA had the highest HR and seemed to have the greatest impact on long-term aneurysm sac enlargement. Hence, taking preoperative measures to address a patent IMA appears to be important in reducing the incidence of sac enlargement.

Abstract
We present the case of a patient with a graft-duodenal fistula after renovisceral debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography showed that the infection was localized to the renovisceral bypass grafts and the right kidney. Based on the preoperative imaging findings, a limited surgery with resection was performed in the fistula, right kidney, and fluorodeoxyglucose-positive bypass grafts, while preserving the fluorodeoxyglucose-negative grafts. No signs of reinfection were reported 2 years after the surgery. Accurate assessment of infection with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography may be useful for performing adequate excision of infected lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The risk of spinal cord injury after thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair increases when the segmental arteries (SAs) in the critical segment are sacrificed. Such critical SAs cannot be reconstructed when performing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). We aimed to elucidate extrathoracic collaterals to the critical SAs (T9-L1) that develop after TEVAR. METHODS Between 2006 and 2018, the critical SAs (T9-L1) of 38 patients were sacrificed during TEVAR. Nineteen of these patients who underwent multidetector row computed tomography 6 months after surgery were included (mean age 60 ± 13 years; 10 male; Crawford extent II:III, 14:5). We retrospectively assessed extrathoracic collaterals to the sacrificed critical SAs. RESULTS Ninety-four collaterals to the critical SAs were observed, originating from the subclavian (26/94), external iliac (50/94) and internal iliac (18/94) arteries. Twenty-five of the 26 (96%) collaterals from the subclavian artery were from its lateral descending branch, and 19 of the 26 (73%) collaterals fed into T9. Forty-three of the 50 (86%) collaterals from the external iliac artery were from its lateral ascending branch, and 25 of the 50 (50%) collaterals communicated with T11. Patients with a history of left thoracotomy (no collaterals in 6 patients) had fewer collaterals via the lateral descending branch of the left subclavian artery in comparison with the patients without (10 collaterals in 13 patients) (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS After critical SAs were sacrificed, extrathoracic collaterals developed with certain regularity. Previous left thoracotomy could influence the development of extrathoracic collaterals from the left subclavian artery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although concomitant surgery for coronary artery disease (CAD) and thoracic aortic aneurysm is performed often, the long-term patency of the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) anastomosed to a vascular prosthesis has not been fully investigated. Here, we explored the long-term patency of the graft in comparison with the proximal anastomosis site on the native ascending aorta or vascular prosthesis. METHODS A total of 84 patients with concomitant CABG who underwent surgery for thoracic aortic aneurysm at 3 Osaka Cardiovascular Research Group institutes were retrospectively investigated for this study. The patency of 109 aortocoronary bypasses using saphenous vein grafts was evaluated with computed tomography angiography or coronary angiography, comparing the grafts anastomosed on the vascular prosthesis (group P, n = 75) to those anastomosed on the native ascending aorta (group N, n = 34). RESULTS During 45.9 ± 39.7 months follow-up, significantly worse patency of the grafts in group P was revealed when compared with those in group N (100% vs 77.6% in 12 months, 100% vs 52.7% in 36 months and 100% vs 31.6% in 57 months, log rank P < 0.001). The poor patency of the grafts was confirmed in each target lesions (left anterior descending artery: P = 0.050, right coronary artery: P = 0.045, left circumflex artery: P = 0.051) and regardless of the severities of the target coronary vessels (severe stenosis: P = 0.013, mild-to-moderate stenosis: P = 0.029). Furthermore, an analysis of graft occlusion risk factors using the univariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the proximal anastomosis site on the vascular prosthesis was the sole risk factor for graft occlusion (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In the simultaneous surgery for CAD and thoracic aortic aneurysm, CABG design from vascular prosthesis to coronary artery should be avoided if possible, although further studies are warranted.

Abstract
Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT) is the primary inducer of cardiac fibrosis. ONO-1301, a synthetic prostacyclin agonist, reportedly promotes tissue fibrosis repair by enhancing anti-fibrotic cytokine production. We hypothesized that ONO-1301 attenuates pressure-overloaded cardiac fibrosis by modulating FMT and generated a pressure-overloaded murine model via transverse aortic constriction (TAC) to evaluate the in vivo effects of ONO-1301. Cardiac fibrosis, left ventricular dilatation, and systolic dysfunction were established 4 weeks after TAC; however, ONO-1301 treatment initiated 2 weeks after TAC significantly attenuated those effects. Furthermore, ONO-1301 treatment significantly upregulated expression levels of cardioprotective cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor in TAC hearts, whereas FMT-related factors, including transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and connective tissue growth factor, were significantly downregulated. The number of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)- and vimentin-positive cells, representing fibroblast-originated cells transitioned into myofibroblasts, was significantly reduced in ONO-1301-treated TAC hearts. We isolated cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) from the left ventricles of adult male mice and assessed the effects of ONO-1301 on CFs stimulated by TGF-β. Results showed that ONO-1301 co-incubation significantly suppressed TGF-β-induced α-SMA expression and collagen synthesis, and significantly inhibited TGF-β-induced CF proliferation and migration. Our findings suggest that ONO-1301 ameliorates pressure overloaded cardiac fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β-induced FMT.

Abstract
Para-aortic malignant lymphoma invading the thoracic aorta can cause aortic rupture. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a good option to treat aortic rupture associated with para-aortic malignancies. It is essential to detect the exact tumour location during TEVAR; however, it is often difficult to confirm the location with conventional 2-dimensional fluoroscopic or angiographic images. We describe successful TEVAR using syngo DynaCT (Siemens AG, Forchheim, Germany) in a 64-year-old man with para-aortic malignant lymphoma invading the descending aorta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Optimal methods to quantitatively evaluate the blood flow in each cerebral artery after zone 1-2 thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) remain unknown. Our objective was to evaluate the differences between preoperative and postoperative cerebral artery blood flows after zone 1-2 debranching TEVAR (dTEVAR). METHODS Between January 2016 and August 2018, a prospective analysis of the blood flow in both the internal carotid artery and the vertebral artery in 16 patients before and after zone 1-2 dTEVAR was conducted. Zone 1 dTEVAR with right axillary artery-left common carotid artery-left axillary artery (RAxA-LCCA-LAxA) bypass was performed on 7 patients. Zone 2 dTEVAR was performed on 9 patients: 4 underwent RAxA-LAxA bypass and 5 underwent LCCA-LAxA bypass. Quantitative magnetic resonance angiography was performed before and after zone 1-2 dTEVAR. RESULTS Total intracranial blood flow was preserved postoperatively [The median (interquartile range) preoperatively vs postoperatively: 621 (549-686) vs 638 (539-703) ml/min, not significant]. The anterior [469 (400-504) vs 475 (404-510) ml/min, not significant] and posterior cerebral blood flows [157 (121-199) vs 163 (123-210) ml/min, not significant] were also maintained postoperatively. In the 3 debranching procedures, the postoperative anterior and posterior cerebral blood flows were maintained at rates similar to preoperative rates, with the proportion of anterior and posterior cerebral circulations reaching almost 75% and 25%, respectively. No significant differences between preoperative and postoperative distributions of internal carotid artery blood flows were observed. Regarding vertebral artery blood flows, the distribution of blood flow through the left vertebral artery was significantly lower postoperatively than preoperatively; however, the postoperative right vertebral artery blood flow distribution significantly increased compared with the preoperative flow. CONCLUSIONS In zone 1-2 dTEVAR, total intracranial blood flow was preserved postoperatively, and the postoperative anterior and posterior cerebral circulations were maintained at rates similar to their preoperative rates.

Abstract
Radical surgical treatment for prosthetic graft infections is still challenging. Especially so for patients with extended-aortic prosthetic graft infection. Redo total arch replacement while preserving prostheses with no abnormal FDG uptake. All the resected tissues were positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. No signs of infection recurrence at 2 years postoperatively.
Introduction We describe the successful treatment of a patient with extended-aortic prosthetic graft infection (PGI) by surgery limited to the infected lesion based on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) findings. Presentation of case A 54-year-old man, who had undergone three graft replacements (GRs) for extended-thoracic aortic aneurysms, was diagnosed with PGI complicated by an aorto-esophageal fistula. On the basis of 18F-FDG PET/CT findings, we performed a redo total arch replacement, preserving the other prosthesis where abnormal FDG uptake was not detected. All the resected tissues were positive for gram positive coccus. There were no signs of infection recurrence at 2 years postoperatively. Discussion Since activated inflammatory cells such as macrophages uptake FDG, FDG-PET/CT clarifies the localization of the infected prosthesis precisely. Conclusion Surgery localized to the infected sites detected by FDG-PET/CT can be an effective option for PGI in cases with previous multiple GRs.

Abstract
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair has become widely accepted as a useful, less invasive procedure for type B aortic dissections by covering the primary entry.1 However, depending on the location of the primary entry, it is often difficult to cover the entry from the true lumen without hybrid procedures.2 Here, we describe a successful endovascular treatment using a double-barreled endografting technique for chronic type B aortic dissection, which excludes the dilated false lumen by endografting into the false lumen without covering the primary entry.

Abstract
Cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass during pregnancy is associated with high foetal mortality. The foetal heart rate should be monitored, because foetal circulation is rate dependent, and experimental evidence supports the efficacy of pulsatile perfusion. We describe a novel foetal monitoring technique and successful foetal heart rate control by switching non-pulsatile to pulsatile perfusion in a 43-year-old woman with a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm who underwent valve-sparing partial aortic root remodelling at 18 weeks of gestation.

Abstract
We report the results of 28 patients with scaphoid nonunion treated with curettage and biconcave cancellous bone grafting from the distal radius using a volar approach and pin fixation. This study consisted of 28 patients (24 males and 4 females). The mean age at surgery was 28 years. The mean interval from injury to surgery was 22 months. The mean follow-up period was 20 months. By Russe classification, there were 6 distal third nonunions, 19 middle third nonunions and 3 proximal third nonunions. We reviewed final function and radiographic appearance. Bony union was achieved in all cases. Pins were removed at a mean of 7 weeks after surgery. Post-activity pain resolved in all cases. Mean wrist extension was 79° and mean flexion 77°. Mean grip strength was 35.8 kgf. The mean postoperative radio-lunate angle was 4.9° (-21–28.8) compared to -5.9° (-37.5–17.5) preoperatively. No complications were encountered. Our procedure is straightforward and not technically demanding. An STT arthrotomy is not necessary and the technique allows for concurrent correction of carpal instability. Bony union was achieved in all cases with no complications.

Abstract
The blood spurting from the ascending aorta is uncomfortable for cardiac surgeons. To protect the surgeons' faces from this spurting blood, we use a longitudinal half of a plastic bottle, which is semi see-through. While the assistant is holding this device above the ascending aorta, the surgeons can proceed the operation with good surgical view.

Abstract
We compared the clinical and radiological results of the modified Sauvé-Kapandji procedure for 41 of 86 operated rheumatoid wrists with (n=22) and without (n=19) stabilization of the proximal ulnar stump with a slip of half the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon. Gender, age, and follow-up period were similar in the two groups. We found no difference clinically or on radiographs between the two groups other than better early postoperative pain relief in those stabilized. Stabilization of the proximal ulnar stump may not be necessary in the modified Sauvé-Kapandji procedure for rheumatoid wrists.

Abstract
We examined the effects of sarafotoxin 6c (S6c), an endothelin-B (ET(B)) receptor agonist, on adrenal catecholamine secretion in response to cholinergic stimuli in pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized dogs. Drugs were administered intra-arterially into the adrenal gland through the phrenicoabdominal artery. Infusion of S6c attenuated increases in adrenal catecholamine output induced by splanchnic nerve stimulation. The inhibitory effect of S6c on the catecholamine secretion response was suppressed with a selective ET(B) receptor antagonist N-cis 2, 6-dimethylpiperidinocarbonyl-L-gamma-methylleucyl-D-1-methoxycarbonyl tryptophanyl-D-norleucine (BQ-788), a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, and a neuronal NOS inhibitor 7-nitroindazole monosodium salt (7-NINA). Similar results were obtained with the catecholamine secretion response induced by injection of ACh. 7-NINA alone did not affect these catecholamine secretion responses. These results suggest that ET(B) receptors play an inhibitory role in adrenal catecholamine secretion by activating neuronal NOS, whereas neuronal NOS is unlikely to be involved in regulation of adrenal catecholamine secretion in the absence of simultaneous ET(B) receptor stimulation.

Abstract
We performed six metatarsal lengthenings in four patients for brachymetatarsia of the fourth toe by callus distraction from 1991 to 1995. Healing was achieved in all cases. The average amount of lengthening was 30% (range, 15-41%) of the original length. The average healing index was 82 days/cm (range, 66-113 days/cm). After the operation, range of movement of the metatarsophalangeal joint decreased in all cases (120 degrees before and 57 degrees after surgery). In two cases in which the lengthening exceeded 40% of the original length, stiffness of the joint (20 degrees and 0 degrees each) and joint deformity occurred. These two cases also had angulation of the metatarsal. Corrective osteotomy and release surgery was performed in one case. Angulation of the metatarsal was corrected, but the range of movement of the joint did not much recover after surgery. Another case was left untreated because the patient had no complaints. In metatarsal lengthening by callus distraction, the amount of lengthening should not exceed 40% of the original length.

Abstract
We examined the effects of proadrenomedullin-derived peptides on the release of adrenal catecholamines in response to cholinergic stimuli in pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized dogs. Drugs were administered into the adrenal gland through the phrenicoabdominal artery. Splanchnic nerve stimulation (1, 2, and 3 Hz) and ACh injection (0.75, 1.5, and 3 microgram) produced frequency- or dose-dependent increases in adrenal catecholamine output. These responses were unaffected by infusion of adrenomedullin (1, 3, and 10 ng. kg-1. min-1) or its selective antagonist adrenomedullin-(22-52) (5, 15, and 50 ng. kg-1. min-1). Proadrenomedullin NH2-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP; 5, 15, and 50 ng. kg-1. min-1) suppressed both the splanchnic nerve stimulation- and ACh-induced increases in catecholamine output in a dose-dependent manner. PAMP also suppressed the catecholamine release responses to the nicotinic agonist 1, 1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium (0.5, 1, and 2 microgram) and to muscarine (0.5, 1, and 2 microgram), although the muscarine-induced response was relatively resistant to PAMP. These results suggest that PAMP, but not adrenomedullin, can act as an inhibitory regulator of adrenal catecholamine release in vivo.

Abstract
We examined the role of K+ channels in the secretion of adrenal catecholamine (CA) in response to splanchnic nerve stimulation (SNS), acetylcholine (ACh), 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenyl-piperazinium (DMPP), and muscarine in anesthetized dogs. K+ channel blockers and the cholinergic agonists were infused and injected, respectively, into the adrenal gland. The voltage-dependent K+ channel (KA type) blocker mast cell degranulating (MCD) peptide infusion (10-100 ng/min) enhanced increases in CA output induced by SNS (1-3 Hz), but it did not affect increases in CA output induced by ACh (0.75-3 micrograms), DMPP (0.1-0.4 microgram), or muscarine (0.5-2 micrograms). The small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ (SKCa) channel blocker scyllatoxin infusion (10-100 ng/min) enhanced the ACh-, DMPP-, and muscarine-induced increases in CA output, but it did not affect the SNS-induced increases in CA output. These results suggest that KA channels may play an inhibitory role in the regulation of adrenal CA secretion in response to SNS and that SKCa channels may play the same role in the secretion in response to exogenously applied cholinergic agonists.

Abstract
We reviewed the results of osteosynthesis for the treatment of an established non-union of the lateral humeral condyle in sixteen children whose average age was nine years (range, four to thirteen years) at the time of the operation. The average interval between the injury and the operation was five years (range, five months to ten years). The presenting symptoms were pain in the elbow in seven patients, apprehension in nine, a cubitus valgus deformity in six, limitation of motion in three, and dysfunction of the ulnar nerve in four. The average duration of follow-up was eleven years (range, four to thirty-two years). Osseous union was achieved after the initial operation in thirteen patients. Of the three patients who had a persistent non-union, two had a second operation and the third, who was asymptomatic, refused additional operative intervention. The result was rated excellent in eight patients, good in seven, and poor in one, with use of a modification of the functional rating index of Broberg and Morrey. The patient who had a poor result had evidence of avascular necrosis of the fragment.

Abstract
An unusual case of developmental dislocation of the radial head is reported. A 6-year-old boy was referred for evaluation of his elbow and was diagnosed as having an anterior dislocation of the right radial head. No dislocation was present on the left. Subsequently, the left radial head dislocated anteriorly without associated trauma 1 year after the initial examination. Intraoperative findings on the right revealed the dislocation occurred during pronation of the forearm when the radius abutted the interosseous border of the ulna. Ulnar osteomy and reinstruction of the annular fragment were performed but were, not effective in preventing redislocation.

Abstract
An unusual case of isolated fracture-dislocation of the sacrum is reported. A 19-year-old woman had a fracture-dislocation of S-1-2 combined with two longitudinal fractures of the sacrum, but no other pelvic fractures were identified. The possible mechanisms of fracture-dislocation of the sacrum are discussed. The fracture site was identified accurately on a CT scan. Pain relief was obtained by application of an external fixator. A mild neurologic deficit in the S-1 root distribution disappeared uneventfully.

Abstract
Lymphangioma of the upper extremity is rare; its treatment is unstandardized. We reviewed five female and one male patient with cavernous lymphangioma of the hand and forearm. Each of them underwent at least one surgical procedure. Five patients had satisfactory results with cosmesis and hand function. Satisfactory results are expected in those treated initially in early childhood, as most lymphangiomas tend to increase gradually in size and infiltrate previously uninvolved normal tissues.

Abstract
Ninety-one patients with rheumatoid arthritis were retrospectively assigned to 3 subsets according to the number of joints with erosion (NJE). The subsets were least erosive (LES); more erosive (MES); most erosive involving multilating disease (MUD). In the early stages of disease the subsets were distinct (p less than 0.001) regarding mean values of annual reduction of carpal height (delta CHR) and serum Clq levels. Patient assessment (radiographic and clinical) continued to deteriorate in the MES and MUD subsets over the 1-5 year interval after synovectomy. Apparent stabilization of knee disease in the LES subset may be a feature of this subset rather than a result of synovectomy. Although synovectomy may offer short term symptomatic relief, we found no evidence that it retards the bony destruction or the disease process.

Abstract
In 1972, the senior author designed a condylar-sparing constrained hinge elbow prosthesis with a high-density polyethylene bushing. The condylar-sparing design allows both intercondylar and intramedullary fixation of the humeral component with methylmethacrylate cement. Reattachment of the muscles and collateral ligaments to the preserved condyles provides further stability. The clinical experience spans more than 16 years in 42 elbows with a relatively low loosening rate of 7%. The implant was removed and not replaced in three elbows: one for late infection, one for posttraumatic comminuted fracture of the distal humerus, and one for loosening of a humeral component. A series of 27 patients (31 elbows) with 24-204 months of follow-up study (average, 77 months) had excellent pain relief and an average range of motion of 129 degrees flexion, -44 degrees extension, 69 degrees pronation, and 61 degrees supination.

Abstract
We are encouraged by the favorable preliminary results of ligamentous reconstruction using the porous Dacron tendon. It provides a stable construct in cases where there is insufficient local autogenous tissue, and obviates the need for a tendon graft. Early active range of motion is permitted. Current investigation for additional applications for the use of the porous Dacron tendon include volar plate reconstruction following disruption, capsuloligamentous reconstruction of the trapezial metacarpal joint (with trapezium implant arthroplasty as well as for isolated disruption of the volar oblique ligament), intercarpal ligament repair or augmentation, and distal radioulnar joint stabilization.

Abstract
An unusual cause of inability to flex the interphalangeal joint of the thumb in a patient with von Recklinghausen's disease is reported. A tumor in the cubital fossa and the basic characteristics of this disease led to a preoperative misdiagnosis of anterior interosseous nerve paralysis. However, surgical exploration and histological examination showed that the correct diagnosis was rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon caused by intratendinous proliferation of a neurofibroma. This is the first report in the English-language literature of a flexor tendon rupture caused by intratendinous tumor proliferation.
