Treatment strategies and outcomes following acute type A aortic dissection repair in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no consensus regarding the strategies for repairing acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). This meta-analysis aimed to compare the treatment strategies and outcomes of ATAAD repair between patients with BAV and those with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV).

Methods

A systematic review of databases were performed from inception through March 2023. The primary outcome of interest was all-cause mortality, with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. The secondary outcomes of interest included ratios of performed procedures and rate of distal aortic reoperation. Data were extracted, and pooled analysis was performed using a random-effects model.

Results

Eight observational studies including a total of 3701 patients (BAV,
