Reduction ascending aortoplasty (RAA) is alive, but the real question is whether it should
be. Dr Robicsek and colleagues 1 deserve a lot of credit for renewing the discussion on the …

Background Data from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection indicate that the
guideline criterion of 5.5 cm for ascending aortic intervention misses many dissections …

Aortic dissection (AD) is a disease with a high-risk of mortality. Late deaths are often related
to complications in nonoperated aortic segments. Between 1984 and 1996, we …

BACKGROUND: Moderate aneurysms of the ascending aorta that are associated with other
cardiac diseases are frequently encountered by cardiac surgeons. Reduction ascending …

Objectives To evaluate the long-term results of remodeling in acute aortic dissection type A
(AADA) to define operative risk and root and valve stability. Methods Between October 1995 …

Objectives: We sought to demonstrate the long-term natural course of descending aorta
dilation after acute aortic dissection (AD) and identify early predictors for late aneurysmal …

Objective: Acute dissection of the ascending aorta requires immediate surgical intervention.
In this study, we report our first results with valve sparing aortic root reconstruction removing …

Objectives. Knowledge of normal aortic diameters is important in the assessment of aortic
disease. The aim of this study was to determine normal thoracic aortic diameters. Design. 77 …

Objective Recent studies demonstrate that uncomplicated acute type B aortic dissection
(uATBAD) patients with enlarged descending thoracic aortic diameters are at high risk for …

The aim of this study was to provide an insight into normative values of the ascending aorta
in regards to novel endovascular procedures using ECG-gated multi-detector CT …
