This study finds improved outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for anomalous aortic origin, highlighting asymptomatic cases.

Surgical treatment for AAOCA led to a 92.3% functional improvement postoperatively, and no surgical mortalities were reported.
Of 34 patients, 94.1% underwent unroofing surgery, with early and mid-term outcomes evaluated retrospectively.
The study indicates that even asymptomatic patients with AAORCA could benefit from surgical intervention due to potential risks.
Significant findings involved a history of Kawasaki disease in 14.7% of asymptomatic AAORCA patients identified during assessment.

Yun et al. (2025) studied this question.
