Summary

Aortic arch aneurysm repair using selective cerebral perfusion is safe, with acceptable hospital mortality and no significant impact on cerebral function. This study evaluated early and long-term outcomes in 77 patients.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Aortic arch aneurysms pose significant surgical risks.
  • Selective cerebral perfusion is a technique used to protect the brain during aortic arch surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the early and long-term outcomes of aortic arch aneurysm repair using selective cerebral perfusion.
  • To assess the impact of the procedure on preoperative and postoperative cerebral function.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 77 patients undergoing aortic arch aneurysm repair with selective cerebral perfusion (1987-1992).
  • Assessment of cerebral function using the mini mental state-Himeji test and Wechsler adult intelligence scale.
  • Comparison of outcomes for true aneurysms versus aortic dissection.

Main Results:

  • Hospital mortality was 19.4% for true aneurysms and 7.3% for dissection.
  • 5-year actuarial survival rates were 59.0% for true aneurysms and 65.3% for dissection (not statistically significant).
  • No significant differences were observed in cognitive test scores before and after surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Aortic arch repair with selective cerebral perfusion is a safe procedure.
  • The technique demonstrates acceptable hospital mortality rates.
  • Cerebral function is not significantly altered by the surgical approach.
