Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing a simpler (hemiarch) vs complex (zone 2 arch) aortic repair for acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD).

Methods: Adults (≥18 years) who underwent hemiarch or zone 2 arch repair for acute, hyperacute, or acute on chronic TAAD at a single institution between January 2018 and April 2024 were reviewed. Disabling stroke was defined as modified Rankin scale ≥4.

Background: Prognosis assessments for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients remain challenging, particularly as the indications for TAVI expand to lower-risk patients. This study assessed the prognostic value of the tricuspid regurgitation impact on outcomes (TRIO) score in patients after TAVI.

Methods: This single-center study included 530 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI.
