Description

Objective:
We reviewed our near two-decade experience to evaluate for the impact of resternotomy in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAD).

Methods:
All open ATAD repairs performed at our institution from December 1999 to December 2022 were reviewed. Perioperative data were reviewed. Patients who had re-sternotomy was compared with first time sternotomy group.

Results:
Total of 697 patients had type A aortic repair during the study period. 49 patients had previous sternotomy procedures. Patients with re-sternotomy were older (67 yo vs. 57 yo, P<0.001) and had frequently had hypertension (82% vs. 64%, P=0.011), advanced chronic kidney disease (greater than stage IIIb), and previous infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (10% vs. 1%, <0.001). Re-sternotomy patients required larger amount of transfusion including, cell saved units, packed red blood cell, and platelet (all P<0.001). Aortic clamp time (100 min vs. 96 min, P=0.137) and circulatory arrest time (27 min vs. 26 min, P=0.294) were similar in two groups, and performed concomitant procedures, but cardiopulmonary bypass time (178 min vs. 153 min, P=0.002) were longer in the re-sternotomy group. Postoperative complications were more frequently observed in re-sternotomy group, including ARDS (27% vs. 13%, P=0.008), postoperative dialysis (24% vs. 14%, P<0.001), and operative mortality (39% vs. 12%, P<0.001).

Conclusions:
ATAD patients with previous sternotomy had more comorbidities compared to first time sternotomy patients. Outcomes after ATAD patients remain challenging despite the advancement of perioperative care in ATAD.
