    Abstract The presence of a coronary arteriovenous fistula is almost rare in the adult population, even rare when associated with aortic valve insufficiency. Management and treatment options can vary and depend on a single patient. In our case, a large fistula with a rounded origin started from the roof of the left main stem, just attached to the wall of the aortic root, and finished with a very narrowed end in the pulmonary trunk. Due to its anatomical position and to the potential complications related to a proximal surgical closure as well as the incidental discovery in adult age (without signs or symptoms until the operation), we decided to have a conservative approach, leaving untouched the fistula. No intraoperative, perioperative, and follow-up signs of myocardial ischemia were observed.

    Abstract Aberrant right subclavian artery is a relatively rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch. A 74-year-old woman was referred to our cardiac surgery department for chest pain. Computed tomography angiography scan showed an acute aortic dissection and revealed an aberrant right subclavian artery routed behind the trachea. We performed supracoronary ascending aorta and total arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique. The aberrant right subclavian artery was then anastomosed termino-terminal to one branch of the Thoraflex (Vascutek, Glasgow, Scotland) arch graft. Postoperative computed tomography scan indicated a successful reconstruction of the aortic arch, proving the open stent-grafting technique as a useful and effective approach for aortic disease with aberrant right subclavian artery.

    Abstract IgG4-related aortitis is an inflammatory condition of the aorta, characterized by aortic wall thickening and periaortic soft-tissue involvement. Therefore, this condition can mimic an aortic intramural hematoma (IMH), due to similar radiological findings. We hereby report the case of an IgG4-related aortitis misdiagnosed as an IMH, associated with cerebral hemorrhage, possibly due to cerebral vascular system involvement.

    Abstract The treatment of complex aortic arch disease, in chronic or acute setting, has always represented a fascinating challenge for the heart surgeon also because, often, the involvement of the aortic arch is associated with a simultaneous involvement of the ascending aorta and of the proximal portion of the descending thoracic aorta. In recent years, there have been many surgical and/or endovascular techniques and approaches in a single step or multiple steps proposed with the aim of treating and simplifying these complex conditions. The first procedure available for this purpose was the conventional elephant trunk technique, proposed by the German surgeon Hans Borst, back in 1983. In the following years, the technique has undergone modifications, up to what is nowadays considered its most modern evolution, represented by the frozen elephant trunk which allows managing the proximal descending thoracic aorta using the antegrade release of a self-expandable stent graft. In this review article, we try to analyze the advantages and drawbacks of both techniques from clinical and practical points of view.

    Abstract An anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery that arises as a side branch of the right coronary artery and encircles the aortic annulus is usually an incidental finding. However, in patients undergoing aortic valve/root procedures, its existence can significantly complicate the surgical treatment. We report our operative strategy with three different prostheses without valve downsizing.

    Abstract The best surgical treatment for acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is still a strongly debated issue of every cardiac surgeon. The successful result is obtained by taking into consideration both the preoperative and intraoperative aspects, such as cerebral, visceral or coronary malperfusion before surgery. More conservative approaches or more aggressive treatments are different strategies with their pros and cons to face the same problem, especially for the aortic arch management. The expertise of the center, the perfect surgical timing and a dedicated aortic team composed of expert aortic surgeons, anesthesiologist, radiologist and cardiologist are important but not mandatory to achieve the best results in this type of surgery since is not possible to offer it in all the hospitals. The accurate assessment of the aortic anatomy has to be performed, including the extension of the dissection process, the exact location of the entry and re-entry tears, the aortic diameters, the distribution of visceral vessels between the true and the false lumen and the assessment of perfect size of the prosthesis to avoid the oversize since it may cause new entry site in the descending thoracic aorta. We reviewed and analyzed different scenarios and techniques used for the aortic arch replacement in patients with AAAD, taking into consideration that the aim of surgery is to save patients life.

    Abstract The frozen elephant trunk might be considered one of the most appreciated innovations during the last decades to treat complex thoracic aortic lesions. Many useful tips have been progressively introduced to standardize the procedures and, nowadays, the improved post-operative outcomes contributed to spread the procedure. The following article will provide a comprehensive review analysis of the Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) technique, throughout the current available devices, possible surgical indications and primary post-operative complications.
