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 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...
