Aortopathies

This study evaluates the feasibility and early outcomes of total endovascular aortic arch repair in patients deemed unfit for open surgery.

A single-center, open-label, randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of glucocorticoids in preventing or improving organ failure in the postoperative period of type A aortic dissection.

Meta-analysis of publications on aortic root surgery preserving the tricuspid aortic valve aimed at identifying factors associated with residual aortic regurgitation and those linked to favorable valve competence outcomes.

A multicenter retrospective study including 1052 patients treated across six Japanese centers. This study aimed to evaluate which of the two techniques—conventional surgery or endovascular repair—delivers better outcomes based on patient profiles and anatomical characteristics.

A study published by an Austrian group presents the surgical outcomes following the hybrid implantation of a custom-made aortic prosthesis for the treatment of aortic arch pathology during their initial experience at their center.

A retrospective bicentric study using propensity score matching on over 1000 Japanese patients, analyzing the impact of primary entry tears in the descending thoracic aorta following urgent surgery for type A aortic dissection.

The consensus guidelines by EACTS and STS, published in 2024, address the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic aortic syndromes, now recognized as the “aortic organ.”

This paper examines the evolution of the residual aorta post-type A dissection repair, distinguishing patients with bicuspid (BAV) versus tricuspid (TAV) aortic valves.

Observational, single-center, retrospective study analyzing the safety, in terms of hospital mortality and stroke, of cannulation over a dissected right axillary artery.
