1.1. Introduction: Interruption of the aortic arch due to absence of
tissue between the ascending and descending portions of the aorta
is a pathology of low incidence, yet it has a mortality rate of nearly
90% within the first year of life. Surgical intervention is aimed at
re-establishing continuity of the vessel, as well as correcting associated lesions through closure of IVC or performing a pulmonary
artery cerclage correction. The mortality is 18% to 42%. The survival rate is close to 73% at one month, 65% at one year and 63%
at 3 years after surgery.
1.2. Materials and Methods: Review of Cardiovascular Surgery
database between 2006 and 2019, identifying patients who underwent surgery due to aortic arch interruption.
1.3. Results: In the last 4 years, an institutional technique was
introduced, using pericardium tissue for reconstruction and partial
junction of the descending aorta with the arch through advancement of the arterial cannulae towards the brachiocephalic trunk
and has been positively associated to brain protection. Since, results have improved: lower tissue traction, greater amplitude of
the neoarch and better neurological outcomes have been achieved.
The objective of this paper is to identify the most important factors
that ultimately determine prognosis and survival of patients with
these pathologies, as well as to describe results of the implemented
technique.
1.4. Discussion: Aortic arch surgery is considered to be highly
complex. Results yielded in this research showed a high mortality
within the first years, which decreased into a similar rate to that of
medical literature.
The main factors associated with complications identified were a
late diagnosis and malnutrition. In addition, morbidity and mortality rates were similar to those reported worldwide.
