Study Arms (2)

triple-branched stent graft

EXPERIMENTAL

The triple-branched stent graft was a branched 1-piece graft and included a main stent graft and 3 sidearm stent grafts (Yuhengjia Science and Technology, Corp, Ltd, Beijing, China). The main stent graft and sidearm stent grafts were individually mounted on 4 catheters and restrained by 4 silk sutures .The triple-branched stent graft was inserted into the true lumens of the aortic arch and proximal descending aorta; the three vascular stent branches were then grafted into the corresponding true lumens of the aortic arch branch vessels followed by the sequential release of the vascular stent backbone and the branch stents in the left subclavian artery, the left common carotid artery, and the innominate artery.

Procedure: triple-branched stent graft

four-branched Dacron graft

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A four-branched Dacron graft (Boston Scientific Inc, Boston, MA) and a stent graft (MicroPort Medical Co Ltd, Shanghai, China) were used in total arch replacement combined with stented elephant trunk (SET) implantation.The SET was inserted into the true lumen of the descending aorta.The proximal edge of the residual aorta was trimmed to match the proximal end of the stent graft.The anastomosis between the four-branched prosthetic graft and the distal aorta containing the intraluminal stented graft was carried out using "open" aortic technique.

Procedure: four-branched Dacron graft

Interventions

place the triple-branched stent graft into the aortic arch, descending aorta ,the left subclavian artery, the left common carotid artery, and the innominate artery.

triple-branched stent graft

The stent elephant trunk was inserted into the true lumen of the distal aorta in a bound, compressed state after the distal aorta was transected between the origin of the left subclavian artery and the left carotid artery. The distal aorta incorporating the stent graft was firmly attached to the distal end of the four-branched Dacron graft using the "open" aortic procedure. After the anastomosis was completed, blood perfusion of the lower body was started via the perfusion limb of the four-branched Dacron graft.

  • the patient or family members can understand the research plan and will participate in this study and provide a written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Dissection involved the superior mesenteric artery, renal artery and coronary artery, which affect the body's viscera function seriously. The principal researcher from different centre need judge the patients' condition.

  • subjects with contraindications of heart surgery, anesthesia and extracorporeal circulation
  • subjects had significant or progressive of heart disease, according to the experience of the researchers,whose life expectancy is less than 1 year, or placement of triple- branched stent graft will induce unacceptable risk to the subjects
  • anyone with serious mental illness, drug abuse, alcoholism, prison inmates, a lack of ability to care for, or can not express the informed consent
  • subjects are incompliance or can't complete the research
