The revascularization of the left subclavian artery with a cross over axilloaxillary bypass for the hybrid repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms
Abstract Aim: We present our subclavian artery revascularization experiences in the patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm who underwent hybrid repair. Materail and Methods: Between May 2015-December 2018,4 patients underwent TEVAR procedure following axilloaxillary bypass grafting.The mean age of the patients was 72.5 ± 3.01 years.One patient was female and 3 patients were male.Patients had thoracic aortic aneurysms including the left subclavian artery or aberrant right subclavian artery. Results: All patients underwent endovascular stent graft repair following axilloaxillary bypass grafting in the same day.Mortality did not occur in the perioperative period.One patient had graft infection at 8th month of the operation and the graft was removed.He was lost due to pneumonia following the operation.The control computed tomographies of the other 3 patients revealed patent grafts together with successful endovascular interventions and they have been following uneventfully a mean of 27±6.2 months (range:24-32,median:29). Conclusion: The risk of stroke,spinal cord ischemia, and upper extremity ischemia are found higher in the patients who underwent coverage of the left subclavian artery without revascularization.The axilloaxillary bypass grafting may be performed in the patients with high risk to prevent carotid artery manipulation and clamping during carotid-subclavian bypass with long term promising patency rates.
