Retrograde ascending aortic dissection (rAAD) is a potential complication of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) yet little data exists regarding its occurrence. This study examines the incidence, etiology, and outcome of this event. A prospective institutional database was used to identify cases of acute rAAD following TEVAR from a cohort of 309 consecutive procedures from 3/2005 (date of initial FDA approval) to 9/2010. The database was analyzed for the complication of rAAD as well as relevant patient and operative variables. The incidence of rAAD was 1.9% (n=6/309); all cases occurred with proximal landing zone in the ascending aorta and/or arch (zones 0–2). All were identified in the perioperative period (range 0–6 days) with 33% (2/6) 30 day/in-hospital mortality. 83% (5/6) underwent emergent repair; 1 patient died without repair. rAAD patients were similar to the non-rAAD group (n=303) across pertinent variables including age, sex, race, and device size (all P>0.1). rAAD incidence by aortic pathology was: 1.0% (2/200) for aneurysm, 4.4% (4/91) for dissection, and 0% (0/18) for transection; p=0.08. rAAD incidence by device was: TAG (Gore) 1.0%, n=2/205; Talent (Medtronic) 4.7%, n=2/43; and Zenith TX2 (Cook) 3.6%, n=2/55. rAAD incidence was observed to be higher among patients with an ascending aortic diameter ≥4.0 cm (4.8% vs. 0.9% for ascending diameter < 4.0 cm), p=0.047. Incidence was also higher with proximal landing zone in native ascending aorta (zone 0) 6.9% (2/29) vs. 1.4% for all others (4/280), p=0.101. For patients with dissection pathology and an ascending aortic diameter ≥4.0 cm, 11% (3/28) suffered rAAD; with the combination of native ascending aorta (zone 0) landing zone measuring ≥4.0 cm the incidence was 25% (2/8). Definitive diagnosis was by CTA (n=1), intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (n=3), intraoperative arteriography (n=1), or postmortem autopsy (n=1). rAAD is a lethal early complication of TEVAR, which may be more common when treating dissection, with devices utilizing proximal bare springs or barbs for fixation, with native zone 0 proximal landing zone, and with ascending aortic diameter ≥ 4 cm. Combinations of these risk factors may be particularly high risk. Intraoperative imaging assessment of the ascending aorta should be conducted following TEVAR to avoid under-recognition. National database reporting of this complication is needed to ensure safety and proper application of emerging TEVAR technology.
