Key result
Valve-sparing root repair with selective replacement of pathological sinuses in acute type A dissection resulted in 87% overall survival at a mean 54 months, with no valve-related deaths.

May support selective sinus replacement in valve-sparing repair for acute type A dissection; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Urbanski et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Acute type A aortic dissection (n=46). Valve-sparing aortic root repair was evaluated on Overall survival. Valve-sparing root repair with selective replacement of pathological sinuses in acute type A dissection resulted in 87% overall survival at a mean 54 months, with no valve-related deaths.
