? 2021Background: Limited data exist on the management of complete vascular rings (CVR) in adults. We reviewed our institution's surgical experience in the management of these patients. Methods: Between 2010 and 2019, all adult patients that underwent a thoracotomy for a CVR repair were identified. We performed a retrospective medical record review of these patients to characterize their demographics and outcomes. Results: Among the 5 patients identified (3 females, 2 males; Mean age 50 ± 9 years), anatomic variants were right arch and Kommerell diverticulum (KD) in 3 (60%) and double aortic arch in 2 (40%) patients. Indications for operation included dysphagia in 4 (80%), respiratory symptoms in 3 (60%) and aneurysmal KD in 1 (20%) patient. Two right aortic arch exclusion, 1 ligamentum arteriosum (LA) division, 1 LA division combined with a KD resection and 2 aortic reconstructions with interposition Dacron graft under partial cardiopulmonary bypass, were performed. Two carotid-subclavian artery transpositions prior to the thoracotomy were done. The postoperative length of stay was 10.0 (IQR 7.3–14.8) days. One reoperation for chylothorax and 1 for symptoms recurrence were performed for the same patient. Over a follow-up period of 1.4 (IQR 0.4–7.0) years, no mortality or major postoperative complications occurred. At their last follow-up visit, all patients reported no related remaining symptoms, except for persisting mild asthma in 1 patient. Conclusions: Open repair of CVR in adults can be performed safely with low complication rate. Symptoms improved in all patients after definitive repair.
