Abstract:Background and Aims The unibody single-branched stent graft with the delivery system is a new stent system, which is suitable for aortic dissection with inadequate proximal landing zone, and is a new choice for aortic dissection involving the left subclavian artery (LSA). Here, the authors evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety by summarizing the cases with acute Stanford B aortic dissection and insufficient proximal landing zone undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with unibody single-branched stent graft.Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with acute Standford B aortic dissection and insufficient landing zone undergoing TEVAR using the Castor? branched aortic stent graft in Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital from April 2019 to January 2020 were retrospectively collected. The surgical procedures and perioperative complications were analyzed.Results The 8 patients included 7 male cases (87.5%) and 1 female case (12.5%), with a median age of 42 (33-64) years, and BMI of (25.5±3.8) kg/m2. The stenting procedure was successfully completed in all patients, the initial technical success rate was 100%, no perioperative death or neurological complications occurred and type I endoleak was noted. The average length of hospital stay was (14.8±3.7) d. The follow-up was performed for 223(60-370) d, and all the main body and branch stent grafts were patent, no associated type I and III endoleak occurred, and no neurological complications and symptoms of left upper limb ischemia were observed.Conclusion The unibody single-branched stent graft combined TEVAR technique is a safe and effect approach for type B aortic dissection with inadequate landing zone. The mid-and long-term results still need further follow-up.
