High Failure Rate After Valve-sparing Aortic Root Replacement Using the “Remodeling Technique” in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

Abstract

The high failure rate of aortic root remodeling inpatients with acute type A aortic dissection is discouraging. Whether this technique should be applied in acute type A aortic dissection is questionable. In contrast, aortic root reimplantation lead to favorable midterm outcome. Thus, we recommend consideration of this technique for surgical treatment of patients with acute type A aortic dissection.
