of the aortic root is a viable option [52]. Regardless to whether reimplantation or remodelling with ring stabilization is used, the technical aspects pertinent in the setting of TAAAD are shared.
The technical aspects of cardiopulmonary bypass in TAAAD repair are discussed elsewhere in this book. At Emory, we use the right axillary artery or the ascending aorta for arterial return, and the right atrium is used for drainage through a three­stage venous cannula inserted through the right atrial appendage. At a bladder tem­perature of 24–28 °C, the innominate artery is clamped and unilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion initiated. The aortic arch is reconstructed, using the neo-intima technique, and repaired as indicated. Following completion of distal reconstruction, the distal tube graft is clamped and total body perfusion is resumed through the right axillary artery.
At this stage the aortic root and valve are assessed for indication for root inter­vention and suitability of the aortic valve for preservation. With regard to the aortic valve, particular attention is paid to leaets tissue quality, thickening, calcication, leaet fenestration, leaet prolapse and valve conguration. If the valve is suitable for preservation, the aortic root tissue is excised, leaving a 4–5mm rim of aortic tissue, and the coronary buttons created. Subsequently, the aortic root is dissected free from surrounding structures 2mm below the nadir of each cusp; the dissection is limited in the non-coronary/right coronary commissure because of the natural limitation imposed by the membranous septum and the muscular septum; the left atrium forms the lower limit of left coronary sinus dissection.
It is important to note that in cases of TAAAD tissue planes are more challenging to identify because of the haematoma and the swelling induced by the dissection (Fig.3). It is worthwhile to invest in careful dissection to avoid inadvertent injury to the right ventricular outow tract (RVOT), pulmonary artery (PA), and coronary vessels. Should an injury be identied, it should be repaired immediately.
Once the dissection is carried to the lowest point desired, 2-0 Polyester sutures are placed from within the LVOT and used to anchor the aortic prosthesis. We do not use pledgeted subannular sutures, as we believe pledgets can potentially interfere with

the undersurface of the leaet. The proximal end of the graft is anchored to the suban­nular sutures with the valve and remnants of the aortic root telescoped within the graft. Subsequently, we assess the height of the commissures and suspend them to the graft with 5/0 Polypropylene under tension. It is important to maintain tension on the commissures at this stage. The aortic root rim is sutured to the graft with 5/0 Polypropylene sutures (Fig.4); we assess leaet coaptation, and should leaet repair be required, it is performed at this stage. The coronary buttons are then anastomosed to the graft, starting with the left coronary artery. If the there is doubt regarding the integrity of the tissue of the coronary button, Cabrol modication of the original Bentall procedure, using a conduit to anastomose the coronary arteries to the graft is a sound strategy that we occasionally employ, as it helps avoid disappointment caused by a bleeding coronary button at the end of a long operation [6, 53]. We administer cardioplegia into the root and assess its’ competency prior to releasing the cross clamp.
It is of paramount importance to carefully assess the TEE images after discon­tinuing CPB for evidence of AI.Should AI be identied, it is helpful to identify the aetiology and mechanism from TEE, as that would shorten the second clamp time required to address AI.It is our strategy to reclamp should AI>+1 be detected on TEE.
Regarding the sizing of the graft, we used David’s formula of a graft size=[2*(C
*2/3)]+6 to 10mm to select a prosthesis appropriately. The height
usp
of the NC/RC commissure as proposed by El Khoury, or a Hegar dilator can also be used as guide prosthesis size [54]. We do not perform complex cusp repair in patients with TAAAD, as a second clamp may prove to be costly in this critically ill cohort of patients.
Results ofVSRR inTAAAD
Sir Magdi Yacoub reported the results of remodelling in 158 patients, 31% had acute aortic dissection, with a mortality of 4.6% for the whole cohort; the mortality of patients with acute type A aortic dissection was 18%. However, a third of patients developed moderate aortic insufciency, during a mean follow-up of 5years [55].

The partial root replacement, including Uni-Yacoub and Bi-Yacoub, technique has been adopted by other groups, with a reported freedom from reintervention of 100–90% at 10years or more [3, 56, 57]. Urbanski used a similar strategy in 46 patients with TAAAD with no valve related reintervention at mean follow-up of
4.5years [58]. However, the selective sinus repair excellent results have not bee replicated by other group; in Chiu series 11% of patients who had unisinus or bisi­nus repair had a reintervention, while 0% of the Bentall group [27]. A study from Japan reported repair of AAAD in 19 patients, using the remodelling technique with VAJ ring stabilisation; the perioperative mortality was 5.6% and one patient needed reoperation for AI during a follow-up of 56months [52]. The experience with this strategy in TAAAD is still its infancy, and we would be curious for long-term results and larger series to be reported.
The largest series to date of VSRR in TAAAD is from Hannover; Beckmann et al. reported their results of 109 patients who underwent David procedure for TAAAD.The in-hospital mortality was 11%, despite 40% of patients undergoing concomitant total arch replacement, which is below the mortality reported by IRAD, with a 10-year freedom from reoperation of 85%. Freedom from AI<+1 was 96%. Interestingly, when adjusted for perioperative mortality, the long-term survival of patients treated with VSRR for TAAAD is no different from elective patients [59]. These excellent results should be evaluated bearing in mind that in Hannover, on average, 22 VSRRR are performed electively every year; while in the USA the median number of aortic root surgeries performed by a centre is 2, and only 5% of centres performed more than 16 aortic root operations annually [60].
At Emory we published our experience in VSRR in TAAAD patients over 13years. Of the 132 patients, 52 had VSRR.The 30-day mortality was 3.4% and
14.3in the VSRR and root replacement groups respectively. The freedom from AI +2 was 94% at midterm follow-up and no patient required AVR.Furthermore, long­term survival benet has been demonstrated following VSRR [31, 38, 61].
A comparative study of Bentall and David procedure in 135 TAAAD patients, reported similar adjusted perioperative mortality, no reoperations in the David group, and a better 10year survival in favour of VSRR, 98% vs. 57% at 10years. The Leipzig group reported the results of 208 root replacement in TAAAD, 130 Bentall, 51 modied Yacoub, 21 David, with similar perioperative results, despite the longer bypass time in the reimplantation group; the freedom from reoperation was also similar and in excess of 80% in all groups at 5years [62]. Higher freedom from reoperation rates were reported in smaller series [63]. It is likely that in self­selected institutions good results are obtainable [64]. However, the encouraging results of VSRR in TAAAD are not consistent. Tanka etal. reported 24 VSRR, from a total cohort of 328 TAAAD patients, with a freedom from reoperation and free­dom from moderate AI of 65% [65]. Tanaka’s series is over a 16years period, which may reect a small volume of VSRR, and may explain the discouraging results. On the other hand, an element of publication bias is likely, as centres with good results are more likely to publish them.
Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement for Aortic Valve Insufciency in Type A Aortic…

A meta-analysis of valve sparing root replacement, 10% had TAAAD, reported a linearized mortality rate of 1.5%, 0.4% thromboembolic events, and a rate of 1.7% of major adverse valve related events [66]. Furthermore, a meta-analysis comparing Bentall and VSRR, including 9 studies and 706 patients, reported an improvement in early mortality and late mortality in the pooled VSRR group with an OR 0.77 (0.21–0.57 95% CI) for early mortality. The linearized late mortality was 4.1% and
19.8% for VSRR and Bentall respectively, OR 0.34 (95% CI 0.21–0.57) for later mortality. However, reintervention rate was higher in the VSRR group. The number of patients included in each study ranged from 52 to 295 patients, and all the studies were cohort studies. It is likely that there is an element of selection bias in all the reported studies based on surgeons’ experience and patents’ characteristic. Yet it is safe to conclude that in the appropriately selected patient VSRR provides long term benet, these ndings resonate with meta-analysis ndings in aneurysmal aortic root disease [67, 68].
Aubin et al. reported a single surgeon experience of liberally employing the reimplantation in 45 patients with TAAAD.All patients with root involvement, in the absence of haemodynamic instability or serious organ dysfunction had reim­plantation repair. Despite an increase in ischaemic time, cardiopulmonary bypass time by an approximately 50min, the 30-day mortality of the reimplantation and non-reimplantation groups was 17% and 23% respectively. No reoperations were required for proximal disease, and the mean AI grade was 0.6 at 5years follow-up. While Aubin’s series is relatively small, it is among the most recently published data reecting an increase in experience with reimplantation, a trend of a more aggres­sive approach to the root. It highlights importance of the surgeon’s experience in achieving a good outcome in this challenging condition [69].
Others have demonstrated the association between surgeons with aortic interest and an aggressive approach towards the root, with a potential survival benet [70]. The trend towards a more radical root strategy is particularly evident in the light that the University of Pennsylvania group published a series, just under a decade ago, of “new paradigms” in TAAD in which under a quarter of patients had aortic root replacement [71]. We have seen time and time again in cardiac surgery “the pendu­lum swing” and only more data would enable us to assess if swing in the other direc­tion is needed.
277
Conclusion
In experienced centres VSRR should be considered if the valve morphology is favourable and in the absence of increased perioperative mortality risk factors. Young patients and patients with dilated aortic root or genetic aortic syndromes would probably benet the most from valve conservation and preservation of native valve function.

Management ofAcute Type AAortic Dissection: Safe Management Strategies fortheGeneral Cardiac Surgeon
TironeE.David
Surgery for acute type A aortic dissection is associated with high operative mortal­ity and morbidity largely because of its heterogeneity in pathology, pathophysiol­ogy and clinical presentation. Many patients die before reaching an emergency room whereas others walk in a doctors’ ofce complaining of vague chest discom­fort or other symptom and are found to have acute type A aortic dissections. The dissection may involve only the ascending aorta in some cases whereas in most patients the entry tear is in the proximal ascending aorta and the false lumen extends down to the thoracic, abdominal and even femoral arteries causing various degrees of organ malperfusion. The faster the diagnosis is made and the faster the patient can be taken to the operating the better for the patient, and probably for the surgeon too. The mortality of acute type A aortic dissection during the rst 24h is very high and referring these patients to an aortic center may be inappropriate because what­ever might be gained in operative mortality if the operation is performed by an experienced aortic surgeon the overall mortality might be higher by delaying sur­gery. In addition, even experienced aortic surgeons nd challenging to operate on certain patients with acute type A aortic dissection. Thus, the general cardiac sur­geon working somewhere distant from an “aortic center” is probably the best person to save the patient’s life. This is an operation that every cardiac surgeon should be able to perform, and if it is planned and executed well, the mortality and morbidity rates can be reduced.
This chapter was written with the “general cardiac surgeon” in mind, the one who sees only a few patients with acute type A dissection each year. Based on my

lifetime experience working in a teaching hospital, I will be describing techniques that I know that are reproducible if only followed correctly and performed with care and attention to the details I will enumerate. Although I already mentioned, I rmly believe that prompt diagnosis and immediate surgery are crucial in this disease, and the sooner you can get the patient on the operating table, the better the operative and long-term outcomes will be.

The Hemodynamically Unstable Patient
Hemodynamic instability after acute type A aortic dissection occurs because acute myocardial ischemia due to the dissection or ruptured of the false lumen into the pericardial cavity with consequent pericardial tamponade or rupture into the chest of abdominal cavities. It is difcult and sometimes impossible to save the patient with acute rupture of the false lumen in the pleural or abdominal cavity. However, it is relatively common to have to operate on patients with myocardial ischemia or pericardial tamponade. Patients with acute type A dissection and myocardial isch­emia may have been treated by emergency room doctors with drugs such as ticagre­lol which immensely increases the risk of massive postoperative bleeding. I have operated on only two such patients and one died as consequence of massive blood transfusion after a correctly and expeditiously performed operation for acute type A dissection.
An arterial line on the right radial or brachial artery, a central venous line, and a good peripheral IV are indispensable in hemodynamically unstable patients. Although transcutaneous cannulation of the femoral vessels can be performed, I believe you should start the operation by making an incision in the inguinal area and expose the anterior wall of the femoral vein and common femoral artery. If the femoral artery has evidence of a false lumen, mobilize this vessel circumferentially and put tapes around it. If there is no dissection, simply put a purse string suture on the anterior wall of the common femoral artery. A purse string suture should also be place on the femoral vein. Next, go to the chest and do a full median-sternotomy. If the hemodynamic instability is due to tamponade the pericardial cavity will be tense and blue. Don’t open it because if you do there is a risk of a hypertensive crisis and the aorta may blow up and make things messy. Give heparin and insert perfusion cannulas in the femoral vessels using the Seldinger technique. If the femoral artery has a false lumen, clamp it and open it transversely and insert a cannular into the true lumen. Both the arterial and venous cardiopulmonary bypass lines should have a second arm of tubing 80–100cm long in case you need another venous cannula to completely drain the right side of the heart, or another arterial cannula. Go on bypass and start to cool the patient. Make a small incision in the pericardium and begin to drain the uid slowly. Alert the anesthetist of possible hypertension and reduce the doses of inotropes and vasopressors. The rupture that caused the tampon­ade is often sealed and there is no active bleeding in most patients. If this is the case, carry on and you may want to insert a cannula in the right atrium for better venous
