Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of the provisional extension to induce complete attachment technique (PETTICOAT) for the treatment of acute and subacute complicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD).
Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinical data of patients with acute and subacute TBAD who were treated using the PETTICOAT technique at our center between March 2014 and March 2023. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality; secondary endpoints were a composite of complications, such as entry flow, stent-graft-induced new entry (SINE), and re-intervention.

Background: A straightforward Bentall operation can be performed safely with low mortality, but some challenging cases require a more complex operation. We discuss here the steps of the Bentall procedure.
Methods: We reviewed specific scenarios, such as acute aortic dissection, native valve or prosthetic valve endocarditis, redo Bentall after aortic root replacement, calcified aortic root, and patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting, mechanical aortic valve replacement, stentless aortic valve replacement, and prior extensive aortic arch repair with proximalization of neck vessels.

Introduction: Avoiding patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) in patients with small aortic annulus (SAA) during aortic valve replacement (AVR) is still a challenging surgical problem. Among surgical options available, aortic root enlargement (ARE) and stentless valve implantation (SVI) are the two most commonly used strategies. This systematic review will be conducted searching for superiority evidence based on comparative studies between these two options.
