Selective Sinus Replacement for Aortic Root Aneurysm: Durable Approach in Selected Patients
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with sinus of Valsalva or asymmetric root aneurysm, SSR is associated with excellent operative outcomes, and mid-term follow-up suggests the technique is durable. Longer-term follow-up is needed to confirm continued stability of the aortic root.PMID:35872034 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.05.071

Risk Prediction Model for Major Adverse Outcome in Proximal Thoracic Aortic Surgery
ConclusionsThe current study identified risk factors for major adverse outcome after proximal thoracic aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest for degenerative pathology. The proposed simple, accurate model can quantify risk and facilitate physician-patient counseling before possible surgical intervention.

Risk Prediction Model for Major Adverse Outcome in Proximal Thoracic Aortic Surgery
ConclusionsThe current study identified risk factors for major adverse outcome after proximal thoracic aortic surgery with HCA for degenerative pathology. The proposed simple, accurate model can quantify risk and facilitate physician-patient counseling prior to possible surgical intervention.
