title: [Early and late survival of total aortic arch replacement in patients with dissecting or atherosclerotic aneurysm].
abstract: Forty-seven patients (pts) were underwent total aortic arch replacement (TAAR) were studied to compare the early and late results between atherosclerotic (AA) and dissecting aneurysm (DA). There were 23 pts with AA and 24 pts with 24 pts. Preoperative risk were observed with shock in 12 pts (26%), major organ ischemia in 2 pts (4%), rupture in 8 pts (17%), stroke in 8 pts (17%) and coronary artery disease in 4 pts (9%). Operative procedure was TAAR in 22 pts, TAAR with ascending aorta replacement in 14 pts, and TAA with descending aorta replacement in 11 pts. Hospital mortality was 21 pts (45%) and late mortality was a surgical death after thoracoabdominal aneurysm in 1 pts. There was no difference in early and late survival rate, however early mortality was higher in pts with ruptured AA and with DA suffered from preoperative shock. There were 19 of early death in recent pts without rupture in AA and preoperative shock in DA.
