Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with syndromic heritable thoracic aortic diseases (sHTAD) who underwent prophylactic aortic root replacement are at high risk of distal aortic events, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This prospective, longitudinal study evaluates the impact of valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSARR) on aortic fluid dynamics and biomechanics in these patients. METHODS: Sixteen patients with...
