Abstract OBJECTIVES To investigate the early and mid-term results of aortic root remodelling with external ring annuloplasty in acute type A aortic dissection. METHODS From January 2015 to April 2019, a total of 194 patients underwent emergency or urgent operation for acute type A aortic dissection in our hospital. Of these, outcomes in 18 patients who underwent valve-sparing aortic root remodelling with external ring annuloplasty were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS The mean age of the 18 patients was 49 ± 14 years. Fourteen patients (78%) were men. Five patients had Marfan syndrome and 2 patients had bicuspid aortic valve. Two patients had coronary malperfusion and 1 patient had cerebral malperfusion. All 18 patients underwent aortic root remodelling with external ring annuloplasty. Cusp repair using central cusp plication was required in 9 patients. Concomitant procedures were hemiarch replacement in 8 patients, total arch replacement in 7 patients, partial arch replacement in 1 patient and coronary artery bypass grafting to the right coronary artery in 3 patients. Thirty-day mortality rate was 5.6% (1 of 18). Postoperative echocardiography showed aortic regurgitation of <1+ in all patients. During follow-up (mean 56 ± 41 months), 1 case of recurrent aortic regurgitation required aortic valve replacement. CONCLUSIONS Aortic root remodelling with external ring annuloplasty may be an appropriate treatment in middle-aged or younger patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection.

Objective: Valve-sparing root replacement is commonly used for management of aortic root aneurysms in elective setting, but its technical complexity hinders its broader adoption for acute Type-A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD). The Florida Sleeve (FS) procedure is a simplified form of valve sparing aortic root reconstruction that does not require coronary reimplantation. Here, we present our outcomes of the Florida Sleeve (FS) repair in patients with dilated roots in the setting of an ATAAD. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 24 consecutive patients (2002-2018) treated with FS procedure for ATAAD. Demographic, operative, and postoperative outcomes were queried from our institutional database. Long term follow-up was obtained from clinic visits for local patients, and with telephone and telehealth measures otherwise. Results: Mean age was 49 ± 14 years with 19 (79%) males. Marfan syndrome was present in 4 (16.7%) patients and 14 (58.3) had ≥2+ aortic insufficiency (AI). Nine (37.2%) had preoperative mal-perfusion or shock. The FS was combined with hemi-arch replacement in 15 (62.5%) patients and a zone-2 arch replacement in 9 (37.5%) patients. There were 2 (8.3%) early postoperative mortalities. Median follow-up period was 46 months (range; 0.3-146). The median survival of the entire cohort was 143.4 months. One patient (4.2%) required redo aortic valve replacement for unrelated aortic valve endocarditis at 30 months postoperatively. Conclusion: FS is simplified and reproducible valve-sparing root repair. In appropriate patients, it can be applied safely in acute Stanford type-A aortic dissection with excellent early and long-term results.
