The effect of adding an open distal anastomosis to proximal aneurysm repairs in bicuspid aortopathy

ConclusionWe found no significant inter-group differences in survival, reintervention, or in-hospital complication rates, with low rates of mortality, and aortic arch-related reintervention, suggesting adding open distal anastomosis may not provide benefit in BAV patients undergoing proximal aortic aneurysm repairs.
