Limited versus extended repair for acute type A aortic dissection: long-term outcomes of the Beijing approach beyond 10 years.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large series of ATAAD, the FET + TAR technique has achieved satisfactory early and long-term survival and freedom from reoperation up to 15 years. Marfan syndrome and malperfusion syndrome were risk factors for early and late mortality and distal reoperation. This study adds long-term evidence supporting the use of the FET + TAR technique in patients with ATAAD involving the arch and descending aorta.
