Outcomes of aortic valve-sparing root replacement with cusp repair in connective tissue disease
CONCLUSION: Remodelling and aortic valve repair showed excellent durability at 5 years, even in connective tissue disorders.PMID:37640626 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2023.07.005

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.

Treatment of Hypertension in Coarctation of the Aorta
Opinion statement The treatment of hypertension in coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is ideally managed by early surgical or transcatheter repair to reduce the risk of irreversible aortopathy and refractory hypertension, in addition to other associated sequelae including premature coronary artery disease; stroke; aortic aneurysm, dissection, and rupture; infective endocarditis; and heart failure. The choice of surgical or transcatheter repair is dependent on individual patient considerations. Medical therapy for hypertension due to CoA parallels treatment of essential hypertension with beta blockers, angiotensin-con...
