Clinical outcomes of aortic root replacement after previous aortic root replacement [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013 The study objective was to examine the short- and long-term outcomes of reoperative aortic root replacement after a previous aortic root replacement.From September 1985 to February 2011, 84 consecutive patients underwent reoperative aortic root replacement. The patients' mean age was 46 ± 15 years (range, 19-80 years), and 86% were men.

Aortic root conservative repair of acute type A aortic dissection involving the aortic root: Fate of the aortic root and aortic valve function [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013 Despite many studies about aortic valve function and aortic root geometry after conservative aortic root repair of acute type A aortic dissection, the results are not always consistent or conclusive. This study aims to evaluate aortic root diameter and aortic valve function after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection involving the aortic root.A ...
