Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Graft Technology
  • Aortic Dissection Repair

Background:

  • Stanford type A aortic dissection requires complex surgical repair.
  • Current methods using ready-made branched grafts can be challenging to manipulate.
  • Minimizing cerebral ischemic time is critical during aortic arch surgery.

Observation:

  • A handmade branched graft was developed using 12 and 8 mm vascular grafts.
  • The graft was successfully employed in a 77-year-old patient with Stanford type A aortic dissection.
  • The surgical technique involved deep hypothermia and selective cerebral perfusion.

Findings:

  • The handmade branched graft facilitated easier and safer aortic arch reconstruction.
  • Anastomosis of the left subclavian artery, left common carotid artery, and brachiocephalic artery was performed sequentially.

  • The surgical procedure resulted in an uneventful postoperative course with no complications.

    • Implications:

    • This handmade branched graft offers a viable alternative to commercial grafts for aortic arch surgery.
    • The technique's maneuverability and clear surgical view may reduce operative time and cerebral ischemia.
    • Further studies could explore the long-term efficacy and broader application of this handmade graft design.
