Objective To analyze the clinical outcomes of Cabrol procedure for the treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection. Methods Clinical data of 37 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection underwent Cabrol procedure at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from January 2009 to April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 34 males and 3 females aged at 21 to 66 years. The average interval time from onset to getting operation was 15.2±28.5 days. All patients received Cabrol procedure was performed for aortic root. According to different aortic arch conditions, hemiarch replacement or total arch replacement combined endovascular aortic repair with stent were performed. Results All the operations were successfully performed including isolated Cabrol procedure in 4 patients, right hemiarch replacement in 10 patients and total arch replacement combined endovascular aortic repair with stent in 23 patients. One patient (2.7%) underwent reexploration for postoperative bleeding. Postoperative mortality was 10.8% (4/37). Follow-up duration was 1-24 months, 2 patients died during follow-up. Conclusion Cabrol procedure has satisfactory clinical outcomes for Stanford type A AD and long-term patency of aortic without coronary oppression.
