Operative predictors of mortality and neurologic outcomes after modified Bentall for acute aortic dissection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Key Points

• This research aims to identify operative predictors of mortality and neurologic outcomes for patients undergoing modified Bentall surgery following acute aortic dissection.
• Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies on the modified Bentall procedure.
• Focused on acute aortic dissection patients and evaluated early mortality and neurologic complication rates.
• Assessed potential operative predictors and publication bias.
• Early mortality and neurologic complication rates were deemed acceptable among ATAAD patients.
• No significant operative predictors were identified for mortality or neurologic outcomes.
• Advancements in perfusion and management may reduce time-related risks.
