Role of arch debranching in TEVAR cases(early experience)
Aortic arch disease incidence is 2.6 for every
million in Americans. It is much higher in Asia,
however in Africa no records available .Aortic
dissection incidence is 0.0001 of hospitalized
patients; approximately 2000 newly reported
cases yearly in the United States. (1)
A type B aortic dissection (TBAD) accounts
for 25-40% of aortic dissections, involving the
aorta distal to the subclavian artery. Most of them
(75%) are uncomplicated with no malperfusion or
ischemia. Many consensus declarations
recommend thoracic endovascular aortic repair
(TEVAR) as the treatment of choice for acute
complicated type B aortic dissections, while
uncomplicated type B dissections are traditionally
treated with medical management alone.
However, with medical treatment alone, the
morbidity, including aneurysm degeneration of
the affected segment, is 30%, and mortality is
10% over 5 years. For both chronic and acute
uncomplicated type B aortic dissections, growing
evidence that supports the use of both best
medical therapy and TEVAR.(2)
Hybrid repair, which consists of arch
debranching(complete or partial) and TEVAR, is
a valid option for the treatment of complex aortic
dissection and other aortic arch diseases. There
are several types of hybrid repair with various
arch debranching techniques have been reported
to obtain the desired result,(3)
. The management of
TBAD by hybrid technique is considered
demanding as less invasive management by heart
lung machine.
