Transthoracic repair of innominate and common carotid artery disease: Immediate and long-term outcome for 100 consecutive surgical reconstructions

Abstract: Direct reconstruction of complex symptomatic SAT lesions can be performed with acceptable death/stroke rates and with long-term patient benefit. Asymptomatic lesions in patients who have significant concomitant conditions should be managed with a less-morbid cervical or endovascular approach, even if long-term outcome of the latter is inferior.

“…Graft patency is excellent, but the combined rate of perioperative stroke and death is as high as 16%. 705,706 Survival after transthoracic arterial reconstruction has been reported as 73% and 52% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. 705 Whether or not symptomatic of carotid atherosclerosis, patients with high-grade carotid artery stenosis undergoing CABG surgery face a higher risk of stroke than patients without carotid disease, but most strokes are mechanistically unrelated to carotid disease.…”

“…705,706 Survival after transthoracic arterial reconstruction has been reported as 73% and 52% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. 705 Whether or not symptomatic of carotid atherosclerosis, patients with high-grade carotid artery stenosis undergoing CABG surgery face a higher risk of stroke than patients without carotid disease, but most strokes are mechanistically unrelated to carotid disease. Considerable evidence suggests that patients undergoing combined CABG surgery plus CEA are at high risk of stroke, but there is no convincing evidence that such intervention in a patient with asymptomatic stenosis undergoing CABG surgery produces benefit in the majority of cases.…”

“…Subclavian artery occlusive disease occurs in relatively younger patients (mean age 49 -69 years) than more common types of atherosclerotic disease [8][9][10]. While in most reports there is only slight predominance of male patients, female patients have represented the majority in several studies [11,12].…”

“…Alguns autores também preferem a abordagem torácica para lesões da artéria inominada, sobretudo quando associadas às lesões da artéria carótida comum esquerda 13 . O risco cardiopulmonar, mediastinotomia prévia, radiação ou infecção também são importantes variáveis que determinam a escolha do procedimento.…”
