Urgent TEVAR with occlusion of the left subclavian artery: Is it safe in most patients?
A retrospective study analyzing the morbi-mortality associated with urgent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in acute aortic syndromes, focusing on the effects of occluding or not the left subclavian artery.
Aortic Pseudoaneurysm After Type A Aortic Dissection: When to Consider Conservative Management?
This article retrospectively analyzes a cohort of 39 patients who developed an aortic pseudoaneurysm following surgery for Type A aortic dissection, comparing the long-term outcomes of conservative management versus surgical treatment.
Comprehensive management of aortic arch emergencies
An essential review that provides a complete therapeutic approach for aortic arch emergencies, based on the latest classifications and treatment options available.
Recovering the Flow: Functional Approach to Aortic Wall Pathophysiology to Predict Risk of Disease Development
Non-systematic review calling for a paradigm shift in the conceptualization of aortic pathology, incorporating functional studies of aortic flow linked to the occurrence of both chronic and acute pathologies.
Chronic Type A Aortic Dissection: Durable Repair with Acceptable Risks?
This article examines the characteristics and postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent surgical intervention for chronic type A aortic dissection (over 60 days post-symptom onset) between 1990 and 2021.
Is a Bentall or Wheat Procedure Recommended for Mild-to-Moderate Aortic Root Dilation?
A retrospective analysis by the Mayo Clinic compares long-term outcomes between the Bentall and Wheat procedures in patients with an aortic root diameter of 55 mm or less.
Management of the Aortic Root in Aortic Dissections: Less is More?
Single-center retrospective study comparing mortality and reintervention rates between conservative treatment (limited to the ascending aorta) and aggressive treatment of the aortic root in acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.
Oral Anticoagulation After Surgical Repair of Type A Aortic Dissection: Does it Impact Prognosis and False Lumen Patency?
Single-center retrospective study analyzing the effects of chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC) on long-term outcomes after surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD), as well as its impact on false lumen (FL) evolution.
Modified Frozen Elephant Trunk in the Treatment of DeBakey Type I Aortic Dissection: Is It Time to Change the Current Approach?
Retrospective single centre study adjusted by propensity analysis from the Cleveland Clinic group comparing the traditional treatment of aortic dissection (limited to ascending aorta replacement with/without extension to the aortic arch) with the modified frozen elephant trunk technique in Stanford Type A, DeBakey Type I dissection.
