Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Aortic Disease

Background:

  • Aortic dissection involving the entire thoracic aorta necessitates urgent surgical intervention.
  • Traditional surgical approaches may involve significant invasiveness, such as lateral thoracotomy.

Observation:

  • A modified pull-through technique was employed for single-staged aortic dissection replacement via median sternotomy.
  • The technique involved achieving distal anastomosis through the posterior pericardium and pulling the graft through the descending aorta's false lumen.

Findings:

  • The entire thoracic aorta, including the aortic arch with a four-branched graft, was successfully replaced.
  • Hemostasis was achieved by closing each lumen between the proximal and distal anastomoses.
  • The postoperative course was uneventful, indicating successful implementation of the technique.

Implications:

  • This modified pull-through technique presents a viable alternative to left thoracotomy for selected patients with extensive thoracic aortic dissection.
  • It may offer a less invasive surgical option, potentially reducing operative morbidity.
