Distal Aortic Progression After Hemi- Zones 1-3 Arch Replacement in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in long-term survival, distal aorta growth, or reoperation rate for distal aortic aneurysm after Hemiarch or Zones 1-3 arch replacement. Patient-specific arch replacement strategies may be utilized rather than defaulting to aggressive arch replacement for all ATAAD patients.PMID:36368349 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.10.035
