Article Synopsis
- Valve-sparing aortic root replacement, while theoretically ideal for acute aortic dissection type A, is often not the first treatment choice due to its complexity and emergency context.
- In a study of 45 patients, this procedure was utilized as the primary strategy in 28 cases, with longer operation times compared to alternative methods, but no significant difference in major complications or mortality rates.
- The findings suggest that valve-sparing aortic root replacement could be a safe and effective primary approach for treating acute aortic dissection type A.
