Short- and mid-term outcomes of the aortic root repair versus root replacement in acute type A aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In patients with acute acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) requiring emergency surgery, the use of aortic root repair or replacement remains a topic of controversy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early and mid-term clinical outcomes after aortic root repair or replacement, and to provide a theoretical basis for such patients.

Methods

The study included 442 consecutive patients with ATAAD who underwent aortic root repair [n=227, repair group (RG)] or the Bentall procedure [n=215, Bentall group (BG)] at our hospital between December 2018 and December 2021. The indications for aortic root replacement were aortic root sinus diameter of ≥4.5 cm, severe sinotubular junction involvement, unrepairable aortic valvulopathy, severe coronary ostium involveme
