    Abstract Background: Percutaneous access and use of vascular closure devices facilitate thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) procedures during local anesthesia and allow immediate detection of signs of spinal ischemia. However, the very large bore access (usually ≥22F sheath) associated with TEVAR increases the risk of vascular complications. In this study, we sought to define the safety and feasibility of two percutaneous femoral artery closure devices during TEVAR, in terms of access site vascular complications and major, life-threatening, or fatal bleeding (≥major) within 48 hours. Access site vascular complications were defined as technical failure of vascular closure or later formation of pseudoaneurysm.
    Methods: From March 2010 to December 2022, 199 transfemoral TEVAR were performed at Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland. We retrospectively categorized these into three groups, based on surgeon preference for the access technique and femoral artery closure method: (1) surgical cut-down and vessel closure, n = 85 (42.7%), (2) percutaneous access and vascular closure with suture-based ProGlide, n = 56 (28.1%), or (3) percutaneous access and vascular closure with ultrasound-guided plug-based MANTA, n = 58 (29.1%). The primary outcome measure was technical success of vascular closure and access site vascular complications during index hospitalization. Secondary outcome measures were ≥major bleeding, early mortality, and hospital stay.
    Results: The technical success rate was 97.6% vs 91.1% vs 93.1% for surgical cut-down, ProGlide, and MANTA, respectively (P = .213). The rate of access site vascular complication was 3.5% vs 8.9% vs 10.3%, respectively (P = .290), with two pseudoaneurysms detected postoperatively and conservatively managed in the MANTA group. The vascular closure method was not associated with increased risk of ≥major bleeding, early mortality, or hospital stay on univariate analysis. Predictors for ≥major bleeding after TEVAR in multivariable analysis were urgent procedure (odds ratio: 2.8, 95% confidence interval: 1.4-5.5; P = .003) and simultaneous aortic branch revascularization (odds ratio: 2.7, 95% confidence interval: 1.3-5.4; P = .008).
    Conclusions: In this study, the technical success rates of the percutaneous techniques demonstrated their feasibility during TEVAR. However, the number of access site complications for percutaneous techniques was higher compared with open approach, although the difference was not statistically significant. In the lack of evidence, the safety of the new MANTA plug-based vascular closure for TEVAR warrants further investigation.

    Abstract Background: Acute type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a severe condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The optimal classification and treatment strategy of TBAD remain controversial and inconsistent.
    Methods: This analysis includes patients treated for acute TBAD at the Helsinki University Hospital, Finland between 2007 and 2019. The endpoints were early and late mortality, intervention of the aorta, and a composite of death and aortic intervention in uncomplicated patients and high-risk patients.
    Results: This study included 162 consecutive TBAD patients (27.8% females), 114 in the high-risk group and 48 in the uncomplicated group, with a mean age of 67.6 ± 13.9 years. Intramural hematoma was reported in 63 cases (38.9%). The mean follow-up was 5.1 ± 3.9 years. In-hospital/30-day mortality (n = 4; 3.5%) occurred solely in the high-risk group (
    Conclusions: Recognition of risk factors underlying adverse events related to TBAD is essential because the disease progression impacts both early and late outcomes. Early aortic repair in high-risk TBAD may reduce long-term morbidity and mortality.

    Abstract Objective: Extensive infective endocarditis (EIE) involving the valve annulus or the intervalvular fibrous body (IFB) is a treatment challenge. We sought to clarify the outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for EIE.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all 197 consecutive patients who underwent an operation for infective endocarditis (IE) between 2005 and 2016 in the Helsinki University Hospital. Thirty-five (18%) patients had EIE, of which 17 (9%) infection extended to IFB.
    Results: Patients with EIE had higher EuroSCORE II (24.4% vs. 12.4% p < .001), higher frequency of diabetes (29% vs. 13% p = .017), more often NYHA Class IV (83% vs. 56% p = .02), aortic (97% vs. 45% p < .001), multivalve (40% vs. 11% p < .001), and prosthetic valve IE (37% vs. 9% p < .001), and underwent more often emergency surgery (46% vs. 29% p = .042). Thirty-day mortality was 9% in the EIE group and 7% in the non-EIE group (p = .720). Survival of patients with EIE at 5 years was 60% and with non-EIE 71% (p = .029). The frequency of complications was higher in EIE (54%) than in non-EIE patients (25%) (p < .001), due to the higher need for permanent pacemaker implantations (34% vs. 4% p < .001). Freedom from re-operations at 5 years was 91% in the EIE group and 97% in the non-EIE group (p = .203).
    Conclusions: Early mortality of surgery for EIE was comparable with non-EIE. Midterm survival was lower after surgery for EIE than after surgery for non-EIE but there was no difference in survival of patients with IE limited to the valve annulus amenable to patch repair and patients with endocarditis requiring IFB reconstruction.

    Abstract Background. Acute type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is catastrophic event associated with significant mortality and lifelong morbidity. The optimal treatment strategy of TBAD is still controversial. Methods. This analysis includes patients treated for TBAD at the Helsinki University Hospital, Finland in 2007-2019. The endpoints were early and late mortality, and intervention of the aorta. Results. There were 205 consecutive TBAD patients, 59 complicated and 146 uncomplicated patients (mean age of 66 ± 14, females 27.8%). In-hospital and 30-day mortality rates were higher in complicated patients compared with uncomplicated patients with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.035 and p = 0.015, respectively). After a mean follow-up of 4.9 ± 3.8 years, 36 (25.0%) and 22 (37.9%) TBAD -related adverse events occurred in the uncomplicated and complicated groups, respectively (p = 0.066). Freedom from composite outcome was 83 ± 3% and 69 ± 6% at 1 year, 75 ± 4% and 63 ± 7% at 5 years, 70 ± 5% and 59 ± 7% at 10 years in the uncomplicated group and in the complicated group, respectively (p = 0.052). There were 25 (39.1%) TBAD-related deaths in the overall series and prior aortic aneurysm was the only risk factor for adverse aortic-related events in multivariate analysis (HR 3.46, 95% CI 1.72-6.96, p < 0.001). Conclusion. TBAD is associated with a significant risk of early and late adverse events. Such a risk tends to be lower among patients with uncomplicated dissection, still one fourth of them experience TBAD-related event. Recognition of risk factors in the uncomplicated group who may benefit from early aortic repair would be beneficial.

    Methods: This retrospective study included patients weaning from percutaneously inserted femoro-femoral VA-ECMO at the Helsinki University Hospital, Finland in 2012-2020. The primary endpoints were access-site complications, a composite of hematomas/seromas/surgical site infections (SSIs), and the safety endpoint of vascular complications (VCs).
    Results: A total of 100 consecutive percutaneously implanted and weaned VA-ECMO patients were stratified into two groups by decannulation strategy: percutaneous ultrasound-guided MANTA device (
    Conclusions: Percutaneous ultrasound-guided MANTA closure of the femoral artery after VA-ECMO decannulation was associated with high technical success rate and low incidence of VCs. Compared to surgical closure, access-site complications were significantly less frequent, along with access-site complications necessitating interventions.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the accuracy, precision, and trending ability of noninvasive bioreactance-based Starling SV and the mini invasive pulse-power device LiDCOrapid as compared to thermodilution cardiac output (TDCO) as measured by pulmonary artery catheter when assessing cardiac index (CIx) in the setting of elective open abdominal aortic (AA) surgery.
    Design: A prospective method-comparison study.
    Setting: Oulu University Hospital, Finland.
    Participants: Forty patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic surgery.
    Interventions: Intraoperative CI measurements were obtained simultaneously with TDCO and the study monitors, resulting in 627 measurement pairs with Starling SV and 497 with LiDCOrapid.
    Measurements and main results: The Bland-Altman method was used to investigate the agreement among the devices, and four-quadrant plots with error grids were used to assess trending ability. The agreement between TDCO and Starling SV was associated with a bias of 0.18 L/min/m
    Conclusion: The CI measurements achieved with Starling SV and LiDCOrapid were not interchangeable with TDCO, and the ability to track changes in CI was poor. These results do not support the use of either study device in monitoring CI during open AA surgery.
