Частота глубоких инфекционных осложнений после кардиохирургических операций сохраняется на достаточно высоком уровне-0,5-4%, смертность при этом осложнении-до 50% [1]. Частота инфекций протеза аорты (ИПА) при вмешательстве на грудной аорте достигает 1-3% [2, 3], летальность-25-75%, а лечение в большинстве случаев сложное и длительное [4]. Фатальные осложнения при

Background In this study, surgical tactic features and juxtarenal and pararenal treatment immediate results were analyzed depending on the use of various surgical approaches. Methods Between 2015 and 2019, a total of 89 patients received surgical treatment, of which 52(58%) had juxtarenal aneurysms and 37 (42%) – pararenal aneurysms. During repairs, three types of surgical approaches were used: midline laparotomy, extended retroperitoneal approach and thoraco-phreno-retroperitoneal approach. The patients were divided into three groups accordingly. Results At the immediate postoperative period, mortality rate equaled 2 (2.2%). The reasons were pulmonary embolism and sepsis. Statistically reliable data were obtained, confirming the advantages of midline laparotomic approach over the lateral retroperitoneal ones, which consisted in a shorter operative time, less pronounced pain syndrome, lesser blood loss, fewer postoperative days. The disadvantages were that enteroparesis occurred more often when the midline laparotomy was used in comparison to extended retroperitoneal or thoraco-phrenoretroperitoneal approaches. Conclusion Thus, open repairs of juxtarenal and pararenal aortic aneurysms have some specific technical and strategical features which are associated with intraoperative renal ischemia. During open surgical intervention, it is important to first consider the possibility of repair with midline laparotomy. However, lateral retroperitoneal approaches can also be used on a case-by-case basis noting their advantages and disadvantages.

Background Aortic coarctation is a hereditary disease often accompanied by ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve disease. We introduce a single-stage surgical treatment option for patients with aortic coarctation, ascending aortic aneurysm, and aortic valve disease, with a comparative analysis of the results. Methods The study included six patients with aortic coarctation, ascending aortic aneurysm, and aortic valve disease. All operations were performed by a full median sternotomy. For a comparative analysis, the patients were divided into two groups: 3 patients underwent ascending-to-descending aortic bypass, and the other 3 underwent surgical aortic coarctation repair. The short- and medium-term postoperative periods were monitored. The mean duration of monitoring was 27 months. Results When comparing the 2 groups, we observed a tendency for improvement in all intraoperative parameters in the 2nd group. There was no mortality in the postoperative hospital period. One (16.7%) patient died of stroke in the medium-term postoperative period. The other 5 patents showed no signs of procedure-related complications. Conclusion We recommend performing a single-stage procedure for surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta with concomitant aneurysm of the ascending aorta and aortic valve disease. Compared to ascending-to-descending aortic bypass, surgical repair of aortic coarctation is more physiological, feasible via a sternotomy, and tends to improve intraoperative factors.
