Aggressive hemiarch replacement in acute type A dissection can be performed with low mortality and low aortic arch reoperation rate. Resection of all dissected aortic wall tissue decreases, but does not eliminate, the risk of later adverse aortic events.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
