Long-term follow-up of patients undergoing aortic root enlargement for insertion of a larger prosthesis [ADULT CARDIAC]

ARE can be done safely, effectively reducing PPM. Although no difference was found in early and late mortality compared with the SAR group, long-term survival rates of ARE patients was comparable with that of the general population, unlike those of the SAR group.
