Background
Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) has been noted in up to 20% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with increased mortality. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is often followed by pulmonary dysfunction, although literature on the subject in the setting of Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) is limited.
Methods
This study identified the incidence of ARF after TAAAD, associated risk factors, and the impact of ARF on early and late outcomes. All data have been derived from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD).
Results
Postoperative ARF (defined as ventilator support for ≥3 days, tracheostomy, and/or pneumonia) occurred in 434 (24.6%) of 1764 surgically managed TAAAD patients (mean age 60.1±14.2 years) from November 2001 until November 2017. Peripheral vessel procedures (6.4% v 2.8%, p=0.002), cerebral perfusion (89.2% v 82.3%, p<0.001), use of hypothermic circulatory arrest (93% v 87.7%), longer arrest time (median 39 (Q1-Q3 27–128 minutes) v 31 (Q1-Q3 22.0–52.9 minutes)), and lower extremity ischemia (18.8% v 6.7%, p<0.001) were more common in ARF patients.
On multivariable logistic regression analysis, age ≥70 years (OR 1.019, 95% CI 1.005–1.034, p=0.008), current smoking (OR 1.744, 95% CI 1.184–2.570, p=0.005), peripheral vessel procedures (OR 2.457, 95% CI 1.132–5.334, p=0.023), presenting hypotension/shock (OR 2.036, 95% CI 1.336–3.102, p=0.001), lower extremity ischemia at surgery (OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.574–4.875, p<0.001), concomitant coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (OR 2.982, 95% CI 1.597–5.568, p=0.001), pre-operative acute renal failure (OR 2.532, 95% CI 1.350–4.749, p=0.004), and prolonged circulatory arrest time in minutes (OR 1.005, 95% CI 1.003–1.007, p<0.001) were independently associated with ARF development. Patients with aortic valve replacement (AVR) were less likely to develop ARF (OR 0.497, 95% CI 0.308–0.802, p=0.004).
Post-operative complications were more common in ARF patients. In-hospital mortality was higher in the ARF cohort (16.4% v 4.7%, p<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression identified ARF (OR 2.686, 95% CI 1.647–4.381, p<0.001) as well as pre-operative hypotension (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.130–3.159, p=0.015), lower extremity ischemia (OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.545–4.998, p=0.001), pre-operative myocardial infarction (OR 3.141, 95% CI 1.058–9.33, p=0.039), and CABG (OR 1.988, 95% CI 1.011–3.909, p-value 0.047) as independent predictors of death.
Conclusions
Post-operative ARF is common after TAAAD repair; in-hospital complications and death are higher in this cohort.
