%X UNASSIGNED: Data regarding management of lower-extremity malperfusion in the setting of type A aortic dissection are limited. This study aimed to compare acute type A aortic dissection with lower-extremity malperfusion outcomes in patients undergoing lower-extremity revascularization with no revascularization.
UNASSIGNED: Consecutive patients undergoing acute type A aortic dissection surgery were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Perioperative variables were compared between patients with and without lower-extremity malperfusion. Factors associated with lower-extremity malperfusion, revascularization, and mortality were determined using univariable Cox regression and Firth's penalized likelihood modeling.
UNASSIGNED: From January 2007 to December 2021, 601 patients underwent proximal aortic repair for acute type A aortic dissection at a quaternary care center. Of these, 85 of 601 patients (14%) presented with lower-extremity malperfusion and were more often male (P = .02), had concomitant moderate or greater aortic insufficiency (P = .05), had lower ejection fraction (P = .004), had preoperative dialysis dependence (P = .01), and had additional cerebral, visceral, and renal malperfusion syndromes (P < .001). Kaplan-Meier estimated survival fared worse with lower-extremity malperfusion compared with no lower-extremity malperfusion at 1, 5, and 10 years (84% vs 77%, 74% vs 71%, 65% vs 52%, respectively, P = .03). In the lower-extremity malperfusion group, 15 of 85 patients (18%) underwent lower-extremity revascularization without significant differences in postoperative morbidity and mortality compared with patients not undergoing revascularization. Need for peripheral revascularization was associated with peripheral vascular disease (hazard ratio, 3.7 [1.0-14.0], P = .05) and pulse deficit (hazard ratio, 5.6 [1.3-24.0], P = .02) at presentation.
UNASSIGNED: Patients presenting with type A aortic dissection and lower-extremity malperfusion have worse overall survival compared with those without lower-extremity malperfusion. However, not all patients with type A aortic dissection and lower-extremity malperfusion require revascularization.
