Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed clinical outcomes for different surgical techniques used to repair aortic root and valve issues in patients with acute type A aortic syndromes over a 15-year period.
- A total of 634 patients were divided into four groups based on the type of intervention, with overall early mortality at 12% and five-year survival rates ranging from 73% to 86%.
- The findings suggest that mid-term survival is not significantly impacted by the type of valve surgery performed, with valve preservation being a viable option that maintains good hemodynamic status.
