Aortic Root Reinforcement Combined with Vascular Grafts Eversion and Built-in Procedure (XJ-Procedure) for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery

ConclusionsThe XJ-procedure did not increase 30-day mortality and effectively reduced the incidence of residual aortic root dissection during the 6-month follow-up. Subsequent studies with larger samples and prolonged follow-up are needed to evaluate it.Trial RegistrationNCT05751200.The video showed the partial process of the XJ-procedure in managing the aortic root in the ATAAD surgery. The vascular graft was folded outward about 15 mm, and the eversion was intermittently sutured to the full layers aortic wall using 2-0 pad polyester sutures. Then, the eversion of the graft and aortic wall were continuously sutured in one more turn using 3-0 polypropylene sutures.
