Summary
Hybrid aortic surgery is a safe and effective treatment for complex aortic pathologies. While minimally invasive approaches like femoral incisions may shorten hospital stays, they can increase infection risks, warranting further investigation.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Vascular Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Complex aortic pathologies often require combined surgical strategies.
- Hybrid aortic surgery integrates open and endovascular techniques.
- Evaluating clinical outcomes of hybrid aortic surgery is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the clinical outcomes of hybrid aortic surgery for complex aortic pathologies.
- To focus on technical success, postoperative morbidity, and mortality.
- To compare different hybrid surgical approaches.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective observational study of 24 patients (2019-2024).
- Categorization into four surgical approaches based on pathology location: sternotomy, cervical incision, laparotomy, and femoral incision.
- Data collection included demographics, diagnoses, surgical techniques, and outcomes.
Main Results:
- No significant demographic or comorbidity differences between groups.
- Significant association between pathology location and surgical approach (p=0.019).
- Femoral incision approach showed shorter hospital stay (p=0.075) but higher infection rates (p=0.002); no significant mortality differences.
Conclusions:
- Hybrid aortic surgery is safe and effective for complex aortic diseases.
- Minimally invasive techniques may reduce recovery but increase localized infection risk.
- Further large-scale studies are needed to validate findings on recovery and infection rates.
