The AHA statement connects surgical, anesthesia, and perfusion decisions during aortic repair, cerebral protection, circulatory arrest, and distal perfusion.
In 691 aortic surgery patients, post-bypass blood pressure and shock indices tracked 30-day mortality; exploratory thresholds require external validation.
A 474-patient study links elevated preoperative APTT with massive bleeding after type A aortic dissection repair. The findings need prospective validation.
A single-center study of 194 elective ascending aortic and root operations compared transaxillary access with full and partial sternotomy. After propensity matching, transaxillary surgery
A technical report describes separate cerebral and lower-body perfusion during complex aortic repair, with a distal-first sequence and unproven comparative benefits.
A 103-patient retrospective Bentall study associated hybrid cardioplegia with less drainage and fewer bleeding re-explorations, without significant transfusion or mortality differences.
This population-based study evaluated quality indicators for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) among 9,748 procedures at 11 Ontario hospitals. Five measurable indicators showed generally
This retrospective single-center study evaluated 492 adults undergoing aortic arch surgery with bilateral selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP). Patients were grouped by indexed cerebral
This multicenter Canadian registry study examined 2,481 patients who underwent aortic arch reconstruction between 2002 and 2021, including 374 redo cases after prior open-heart
This retrospective study evaluated the role of fibrinogen replacement therapy (FRT) using fibrinogen concentrate during emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
This retrospective single-center study of 475 patients with acute type A aortic dissection undergoing total arch replacement with stented elephant trunk implantation found that
This study found that a higher neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio (NPAR) on hospital admission significantly predicts in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing surgery for
