dc.description.abstractBackground: Despite advances in surgical techniques, the incidence of stroke following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) repair remains markedly high, with substantial immediate and long-term adverse outcomes such as elevated mortality, extended hospital stays, and persistent neurological impairments. The complexity of managing ATAAD extends beyond the operation itself, highlighting a crucial gap in research concerning modifiable preoperative patient conditions and perioperative anesthetic management strategies. Objectives: This investigation aimed to elucidate the incidence, consequences, and perioperative determinants of stroke following surgical intervention for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods: In a multicenter retrospective analysis, 516 ATAAD surgery patients were evaluated. The data included demographic information, clinical profiles, surgical modalities, and outcomes. The primary endpoint was postoperative stroke incidence, with hospital mortality and other complications serving as secondary endpoints. Results: Postoperative stroke occurred in 13.6% of patients (70 out of 516) and was associated with significant extension of the ICU (median 10 vs. 5 days, P < 0.001) and hospital stay (median 18 vs. 12 days, P < 0.001). The following key independent stroke risk factors were identified: modified Frailty Index (mFI) ≥ 4 (odds ratio [OR]: 4.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.24–14.1, P = 0.021), common carotid artery malperfusion (OR: 3.76, 95% CI: 1.23–11.44, P = 0.02), pre-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) hypotension (mean arterial pressure ≤ 50 mmHg; OR: 2.17, 95% CI: 1.06–4.44, P = 0.035), ≥ 20% intraoperative decrease in cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) (OR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.02–3.64, P = 0.042), and post-CPB vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) ≥ 10 (OR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.21–4.14, P = 0.01). Conclusions: Postoperative stroke significantly increases ICU and hospital durations in ATAAD surgery patients. These findings highlight the critical need to identify and mitigate major risks, such as high mFI, common carotid artery malperfusion, pre-CPB hypotension, significant cerebral rSO2 reductions, and elevated post-CPB VIS, to improve outcomes and reduce stroke prevalence.
