A new CTSNet video presents a simple yet highly effective variant of the Bentall–de Bono operation: a double proximal mattress-type suture that enhances sealing and security at the aortoventricular junction without altering the remainder of the procedure.
This retrospective multicenter observational study—the largest conducted to date—challenges the long-standing assumption that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage is inherently protective against spinal cord injury during open repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (DTAA) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). The investigation focuses on the incidence of paraplegia or paresis persisting beyond 24 hours as the primary clinical outcomes.
A review addressing current strategies for managing coronary ostial involvement in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), exploring whether supplementing conventional ostial repair with a protective coronary bypass could enhance myocardial perfusion during the early postoperative phase and potentially reduce severe adverse events.
A detailed examination of the clinical impact of coronary button–related complications during aortic root surgery, based on data from two high-volume US cohorts.
This retrospective analysis examined 378 patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), comparing clinical outcomes in those with and without cerebral malperfusion (CM) following aortic repair performed without any early reperfusion procedures.
Results from the multicenter, prospective North American PERSEVERE trial evaluating the AMDS® device in patients with cerebral malperfusion associated with type I aortic dissection.
Review article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, summarizing current evidence, classification, and management recommendations for type B aortic dissection.
Experience and comparative evaluation against the conventional procedure of a disruptive sutureless anastomotic strategy, applied both proximally and distally, for total arch replacement in patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection.
Early results of the PRESERVERE trial with the hybrid AMDS prosthesis to improve perfusion
A multicenter North American study assessed the utility of considering a threshold lower than 5.5 cm for surgical repair of ascending aortic aneurysms.
