OBJECTIVES
To compare mid-term hemodynamic performance and durability of valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation (VSRR) using a Straight versus Valsalva graft.
METHODS
From 1/1/2000-12/1/2023, 1,495 adults without endocarditis underwent VSRR at Cleveland Clinic, of whom 838 (56%) received a Straight graft and 657 (4...

Background: Thoracic aortic thrombosis (TAT) is a rare, but important cause of arterial thromboembolism (ATE). There is a paucity of published data on TAT; therefore, risk stratification and management are challenging. In this study, we evaluated risk factors, presentation, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with TAT....
Background Indexing ascending aortic dimensions to height, rather than absolute diameters, may better identify at-risk ascending aortopathy (AA) patients who could benefit from earlier surgery. Objectives This study evaluated whether height-indexed aortic dimensions improve long-term risk stratification in AA patients...

Indexed parameters, particularly CSAH, improve risk stratification beyond absolute diameters and highlight size-based differences in AA and provide an individualized precision imaging-based approach to surgical decision-making.
