Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the impact of annular enlargement (ARE) during surgical aortic valve replacement on mortality and complications over a five-year period, amid ongoing debate about its safety and efficacy.
- - Data from 602 patients in a multinational trial showed that 15% underwent ARE, and both groups had similar rates of mortality and major complications within 30 days post-surgery and at five years.
- - Results indicated that patients who had the ARE procedure had comparable five-year survival rates (91% vs. 89%) and experienced similar outcomes in terms of valve functionality, implying that ARE does not significantly worsen patient outcomes.
