BACKGROUND Patient-centered outcome measures should be evaluated postoperatively as the recovery after surgery varies between patients. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, reliability, and trajectory of the quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) in patients undergoing cardiothoracic and aortic surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included adult patients who underwent elective cardiothoracic and aortic surgeries. The primary outcome was the QoR-15, with a minimal clinically important difference of 6.8, assessed on postoperative days (POD) 2, 4, and 7. The final analysis included patients with at least one valid outcome. Feasibility and reliability were assessed by the successful completion rate on each POD and using Cronbach's alpha of the QoR-15 on POD 4. A linear mixed model was used to evaluate the trajectory of the postoperative QoR-15 scores. RESULTS Of the 36 eligible patients, 30 with a mean age of 70 years were included in the final analysis. The successful completion rates on POD 2, 4, and 7 were 72.7%, 87.8%, and 87.8%, respectively. The mean QoR-15 scores on POD 2, 4, and 7 were 89.9, 98.0, and 108.3, respectively. The QoR-15 scores on POD 2 and 4 were not statistically different (P = 0.06) but were clinically significant. The QoR-15 score on POD 7 was statically (P < 0.001) and clinically higher than the QoR-15 score on POD 2. Cronbach's alpha for the QoR-15 score measured on POD 4 was 0.85. CONCLUSION The QoR-15 is a feasible and valid measurement after elective cardiothoracic surgery, which increases significantly over time after surgery.

ABSTRACT The elephant trunk procedure, an endovascular strategy for retrograde type A acute aortic dissection, is associated with several complications, hemolytic anemia being a rare one. We performed endovascular stent-graft insertion in a patient who developed hemolytic anemia. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) detected turbulent jet flow and stenosis position, which was not detected by angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). This imaging technique proved effective for malperfusion diagnosis and enabled us to confirm its resolution after the endovascular procedure. Intraoperative TEE is a useful adjunct to angiography and IVUS for diagnosis and therapeutic assessment during endovascular repair of a stenosed elephant trunk.
摘要象鼻手术是治疗逆行性 A 型急性主动脉夹层的一种血管内治疗方法，它与多种并发症有关，其中溶血性贫血是一种罕见的并发症。我们为一名出现溶血性贫血的患者实施了血管内支架植入术。经食道超声心动图（TEE）检测到了湍流喷射流和狭窄位置，而血管造影和血管内超声（IVUS）却没有检测到。这种成像技术被证明可有效诊断灌注不良，并使我们能够在血管内手术后确认灌注不良问题已得到解决。术中 TEE 是血管造影和 IVUS 的有效辅助手段，可用于血管内修复狭窄的象鼻干时的诊断和治疗评估。

ABSTRACT Migration and embolization of a deployed stent is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and can result in serious and potentially life-threatening complications. There are many reports of intracoronary stent entrapment, stripping, and dislodgement during PCI, however, only a few reports about migration. We report a rare case of migration of the left main coronary stent into the aortic root, which happened 5 months after the procedure and was treated by its partial removal through aortotomy along with surgical revascularization. The patient was discharged 5 days later, after an uneventful hospital stay.

ABSTRACT Mediastinal masses pose one of the great challenges for any anesthesiologist during airway maintenance, underlining the need to devise a well-formulated plan to avoid perioperative complications. As a general rule, such patients are managed with spontaneous ventilation without the use of muscle relaxants and awake intubation. We report a case of a 66-year-old male with severe dyspnea, having a very large invasive anterior mediastinal mass, causing left lung collapse for urgent debulking surgery. The tracheobronchial compromise was ruled out using three-dimensional reconstruction on computed tomography imaging (virtual bronchoscopy) and that helped in using general anesthesia with muscle relaxation for subsequent endotracheal intubation and surgery.
