Elective Aortic Root Replacement in North America: Analysis of STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database.

CONCLUSIONS: Elective ARR is performed with excellent postoperative outcomes. Analysis of the STS database reveals several significant risk factors that are independently associated with increased mortality and morbidity. We anticipate that future studies inclusive of the non-elective ARR cases in the database will facilitate development of a risk model for root replacement procedure.
