Hemostatic Properties of Aortic Root Preservation versus Root Replacement for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: A Pooled Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We reviewed the available literature on patients undergoing aortic repair for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) with either aortic root preservation (RP) or root replacement (RR).

Methods

Original research studies that evaluated short- and mid-term hemostatic properties of RP versus RR groups were identified, from 2000 to 2024. Intraoperative transfusions of red blood cells (RBCs), reoperation for bleeding, strategy of hemostatic sealing of the anastomosis in root repair following the reapproximation of the dissected layers of the aortic wall (with/without biological glue), and operative mortality were the primary endpoints. Postoperative morbidity and overall and reoperation-free survival at one and five years were the secondary endpoints. A sensitivity analy
