in combination with open surgery. In our opinion, for most patients, TEVAR and open surgery are complimentary, not competitive, in the treatment of CTBAD.
The future of TEVAR for CTBAD probably lies in the proper use of fenestrated
and/or branched stent-grafts proximally and distally and at the peri-visceral level. This would eliminate suboptimal landing zones. Proximal thoracic aortic operations may hold the key to the technical success of TEVAR by creating the ideal proximal landing zone. This could be accomplished with open arch debranching operations or with the use of branched arch stent-grafts. When total aortic coverage is planned, staging the procedure may decrease the risk of spinal cord injury.

Introduction
Although the chronic phase of aortic dissection is generally considered to begin 2weeks after the onset of dissection-related symptoms, open repair of chronic distal aortic dissection is typically performed a few years after the acute precipitating event. The dissection process itself substantially weakens the outer aortic wall, lead­ing to aortic dilatation; thus, over a highly variable period, a dissected aorta that is originally of normal diameter often dilates and becomes aneurysmal. Chronic dis­section in the distal aorta occurs in survivors of acute DeBakey type I and III dissec­tion events (Fig.1). Regardless of type, chronic aortic dissection is a progressive disease that necessitates lifelong management to avoid late rupture and isch­emic events.

Chronic distal aortic dissection affects roughly 15–40% of patients who undergo open repair of the descending thoracic (DTA) and thoracoabdominal aorta (TAAA) [15]. Our review of 4275 DTA and TAAA repairs performed between 1986 and 2019 identied 1362 (31.9%) chronic aortic dissections of DeBakey types I (n=578,
13.5%), IIIa (n=150, 3.5%), and IIIb (n=634, 14.8%). Compared with the major­ity of patients who undergo open repair for degenerative aneurysm, patients with chronic dissection tend to be a decade younger (i.e., 50s vs 60s) and have far fewer comorbidities related to the atherosclerotic process. Additionally, approximately 1in 4 patients with chronic distal aortic dissection has Marfan syndrome (MFS) or a related heritable thoracic aortic disease, as compared to 1 in 10 patients with degenerative aneurysm without dissection [1, 6, 7].
Factors suggested to signicantly affect chronic aneurysm development after aortic dissection include poorly controlled hypertension and anatomic factors such as a maximal aortic diameter 4cm in the acute phase, continued patency of the false lumen, partial thrombosis of the distal false lumen, and a proximal entry tear 10mm [811].

Natural History
The chronically dissected aorta tends to dilate at a faster rate than a non-dissected one. Although it is generally assumed that both DeBakey types of chronically dis­sected aorta dilate at similar rates, evidence suggests otherwise [12, 13]. In survi­vors of DeBakey type I dissection, the persistence of a pressurized false lumen has been associated with subsequent distal aneurysm formation, need for intervention, and greater mortality [10, 14]. In an attempt to thrombose the false channel and thereby decrease the risk of late aneurysm formation, endovascular strategies have been developed to exclude segments of the false lumen in both acute (≤2weeks since onset) [15] and chronic [16] aortic dissection. The effectiveness of such approaches is dependent on a variety of factors, including the extent of aortic dis­section, because downstream portions of the false lumen—those without endovas­cular obliteration—continue to be pressurized and may perfuse upstream portions in a retrograde fashion.
Indications forRepair
Even if the entire distal aorta is dissected, dissection alone is not a sufcient indica­tion for open graft replacement. Managing chronic dissection typically requires regularly repeated imaging studies and enhanced awareness of emerging symptoms through patient-education and optimization efforts (including, at a minimum, smok­ing cessation and strict blood pressure control).
Current US practice guidelines [17] recommend elective open aortic repair in asymptomatic patients with chronic dissection of the distal aorta when its diameter exceeds 5.5cm (Class I recommendation; level of evidence B). Although the guide­lines do not expressly state it, a lower diameter-based threshold is generally recom­mended if the patient has a heritable thoracic aortic disease (e.g., MFS) or if the rate of dilatation exceeds 0.5cm/year.
Patients who develop symptoms and can withstand open repair should undergo it regardless of distal aortic diameter. Common indications for emergency repair of chronic distal aortic dissection include rupture or acute dissection superimposed on an existing chronic dissection (because such “double” dissection tends to progress rapidly to aortic rupture). Specic symptoms, when present, are usually related to aortic expansion and consequent compression of surrounding structures, or to mal­perfusion related to aortic dissection. Rarely, stulas develop in patients with chronic distal aortic dissection, especially those who have been previously treated with endovascular aortic repair. The onset of symptoms is usually considered an indication of impending rupture or signicant malperfusion and should prompt urgent evaluation. Pain is the most common symptom and may arise in the chest, back, abdomen, or left ank; it may be described as sharp or stabbing acute pain or as refractory pain. Additional symptoms may be related to embolization, frank

rupture, or either acute-onset dissection or expanding chronic dissection. Plaque and thrombus may embolize distally, causing occlusion and thrombosis of the vis­ceral, renal, or lower-extremity branches and subsequent malperfusion. Cold, blue, or painful extremities, spontaneous paraplegia, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, incontinence, and abnormal urination can all signify malperfusion caused by aortic dissection.
C. Köksoy et al.
Indications forReoperation
Because chronic aortic dissection is progressive, treating it commonly requires more than one aortic procedure. Elective repairs are generally limited to aneurysmal portions of the dissected aorta. In contrast, emergency repairs are generally limited to symptomatic portions of the aorta, even if other segments are aneurysmal; this strategy is undertaken in hopes of reducing operative risk.
For many years, the treatment paradigm for patients with acute DeBakey type III dissection dictated medical management. Today, however, such patients are often treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Likewise, patients with chronic distal aortic dissection are now candidates for TEVAR.Recent reports sug­gest that in nearly 70% of patients who undergo TEVAR for chronic distal aortic dissection, the aortic diameter does not regress afterward [18, 19]. Evidence also suggests that reintervention after TEVAR is more common in patients with chronic dissection than in patients with aneurysm; 17–18% of patients who undergo TEVAR to treat chronic aortic dissection need additional open or endovascular repair, as compared to 10–15% of aneurysm patients [20, 21]. The most serious failures, such as continued aortic expansion, type I endoleak, and infection (with or without s­tula), are typically treated with open repair [22]. Reportedly, open repair rates after TEVAR for acute and chronic dissection are 10% and 15%, respectively [23]. Therefore, open aortic repair as a secondary procedure after previous endovascular aortic therapy constitutes an important treatment option, even in the endovas­cular era.
Surgical Management
Preoperative Evaluation
Comorbidities that are typically considered to contribute to operative risk should be carefully evaluated and modied whenever possible to mitigate risk; likewise, pre­operatively evaluating patients’ physiologic reserve is critical to obtaining a bene­cial outcome. A history and physical exam constitute the initial assessment. All patients, except those who require emergency repair, should undergo a thorough preoperative evaluation emphasizing cardiac, pulmonary, and renal function, as well

as a careful review of imaging studies. We routinely obtain a transthoracic echocar­diogram, a coronary angiogram, pulmonary function tests, and a carotid duplex scan, as well as laboratory panels to assess coagulation, liver, and kidney function. The most common complication after thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repairs is pulmonary dysfunction, including that necessitating prolonged ventilator depen­dence [1, 24]. Therefore, pulmonary function testing, including arterial blood gases and spirometry, is routinely performed before surgery. Also, because patients with severely impaired renal function are at elevated risk of death, kidney function should be evaluated [25].
Preoperative imaging with computed tomography is a cornerstone of surgical decision making. The diameter of the aorta is measured throughout the diseased and non-aneurysmal portions. Potential sites for aortic clamping and cannulation are reviewed for calcication, dissection, and mural thrombus. Branching vessels, such as the visceral and renal arteries, are carefully assessed for stenotic origins and their spatial orientation relative to each other; close attention is paid to anatomic variants. In chronic aortic dissection, it is especially important to determine whether blood entering branching arteries is supplied by the true lumen, the false lumen, or both. The extent of the aneurysmal portions of the chronically dissected aorta is identied proximally and distally; the degree of calcication and atheroma dictates the sites for clamping the aorta and cannulation for left heart bypass (LHB). The lumen of each artery is examined for areas of stenosis that may require endarterectomy or stenting.
427
Surgical Treatment andAdjuncts
Open distal aortic repair necessitates clamping the descending thoracic aorta, which creates downstream ischemic conditions that affect the spinal cord and abdominal viscera. To alleviate these complications, we routinely use a multimodal approach to organ protection during these operations that is largely based on the extent of repair (Fig.2) [26]. However, because patients with chronic aortic dissec­tion tend to have higher rates of distal aortic reoperation (which is thought to increase the likelihood of postoperative spinal cord decit from further interrup­tion of feeding arteries), protective adjuncts are more liberally used to benet select patients (Table1) [27]. To protect the spinal cord, we use mild passive hypo­thermia, cerebrospinal uid drainage (CSFD), LHB, sequential cross-clamping, and selective reimplantation of intercostal or lumbar arteries [2830]. We use CSFD for extent I and II repairs, for extent IV repair in patients who have had a previous DTA or extent I TAAA repair, and for extent III repair when we anticipate replacing the iliac vessels. We intermittently deliver cold renal solution to the kid­neys to protect them from ischemic damage and prevent acute renal failure [31]. We also deliver isothermic blood from the LHB circuit to the celiac axis and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) to minimize ischemic times for the abdomi­nal organs.

Preoperative Preparations
The perfusion team sets up a cell saver, as well as the LHB circuit. Standard intra­venous access includes a large-bore peripheral intravenous line and a central venous catheter. Hemodynamic monitoring requires a Swan-Ganz catheter and a right radial or brachial arterial line. A temperature probe in the nasopharynx is used to
