Abstract Aim The “2022 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic
Disease” provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the diagnosis, genetic evaluation …

Background Frozen elephant trunk (FET) surgery offers a new alternative in the
management of complex thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections. We performed a …

OBJECTIVES: Distal extent of repair in patients undergoing surgery for acute Type A aortic
dissection (ATAAD) is controversial. Emerging hybrid techniques involving open and …

Acute type A aortic dissections still present a major challenge to cardiac surgeons. Although
surgical management remains the gold standard, operative mortality remains high, including …

Background Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) is standard treatment for complex aortic
pathology and includes both unilateral (u-ACP) and bilateral (b-ACP) techniques. Focusing …

Objective The study objective was to determine whether hybrid aortic repair yields superior
outcomes compared with the conventional surgical approach for DeBakey type I aortic …

Objective We determined the effect of antegrade stent delivery in the descending thoracic
aorta on short-and mid-term clinical and imaging outcomes for patients who underwent …

Surgical techniques and organ protection strategies for acute type A aortic dissection
(ATAAD) have evolved considerably over the years. Nonetheless, open surgical repair …

Objective Micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are involved in a wide range of biological
functions, in multiple tissues, including the central nervous system. We investigated a novel …
