ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of Cabrol in treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection.MethodsThe clinical data of patients whom were diagnosed with type A aortic dissection of Stanford in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All of 40 patients underwent Cabrol surgical procedure. There were 31 males and 9 females aged 26–75 (48.8±3.3) years. The surgical treatment effect of the patients was evaluated, mainly including the aortic index, the changes in cardiac function before and after operation, and the postoperative follow-up.ResultsAll the 40 patients completed the operation successfully. The diameter of ascending aorta and aortic sinus in postoperative patients were smaller than those before operation (P<0.05). Postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiac output increased, central venous pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension decreased, and cardiac function indexes were significantly different from those before the operation (P<0.05). Seven patients suffered complications in postoperative follow-up including one stenting leakage, three neurological diseases and three acute renal failure. Two patients died postoperatively.ConclusionCabrol’s operation is effective in the treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection, which can significantly improve the cardiac function of patients, simplify the anastomosis of coronary artery ostia and decrease amount of bleeding.
