Objectives:Total arch replacement (TAR) is used to be a complicated and quite invasive aortic procedure. To perform TAR safely and effectively under all circumstances, we have constructed standardization of the procedures of TAR. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of surgeons’ experience on surgical outcome of TAR to evaluate our standardization.

Methods:From January 2008 to December 2020, 346 consecutive patients (mean age 73.6±10.2) underwent elective TAR through a median sternotomy at our institute. TAR was performed by three types of surgeon classified by their experience (A:over 20 years, B:15~20 years, C:under 15 years). The surgical outcomes were examined. Our standard approach include (1) meticulous selection of arterial cannulation site and type of arterial cannula;(2) antegrade selective cerebral perfusion;(3) maintenance of minimal tympanic temperature between 20 ℃ and 23 ℃;(4) early rewarming just after distal anastomosis;(5) maintaining fluid balance below 1,000 ml during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Results:The operative cases were 227 in A, 86 in B and 33 in C. Surgeon A operated more complicated TAR with higher operative risk compared with B and C. The hospital mortality and major complication rate was not significant difference among surgeons (hospital mortality A:3.5%, B:2.3%, C:3.0%). Multivariate analysis showed the surgeons’ experience was not associated with hospital mortality and major complications. Long-term outcomes were also compatible among three groups.

Conclusions:Our standardization for TAR seemed to be an useful approach to eliminate the impact of surgeon experience on surgical outcomes if the type of surgeon was appropriately selected according to the level of operative difficulty.
