About this study

The investigators focus on the patients who underwent aortic root surgery for acute type A aortic dissection between 2005.01-2021.11. The patients are divided into 3 groups according to the different aortic root surgical methods(Bentall,David and root reconstruction). Clinical data including age, gender, comorbidities, surgical informations and perioperative informations will be collected. All patients will receive follow-ups in hospital or by telephone.

All the informations will be analyzed by SPSS to show the difference of both perioperative and long-term results among different surgical strategies.

Read the detailed description

Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a rare but life threatening situation requiring immediate intervention. Regarding emergency operation for ATAAD, an important principle is to reconstruct the afflicted aorta to prevent fatal rupture.

For aortic root dissection, the Bentall procedure has been the standard operation and has been proven simple and effective. However, the requirement for lifelong anticoagulation therapy is associated with increased risk of thromboembolic and bleeding complications. Valve sparing aortic root reimplantation (David reimplantation), which has been proven effective in root aneurysm with satisfactory safety and long-term outcomes, is an appealing alternative to preserve native aortic valve, especially for younger patients with intact valve function. Aortic root reconstruction without valve surgery is also a well-used strategy for aortic root dissection, but the long-term outcome is still controversial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BentallProcedure or surgery

    Bentall procedure: include replacement of both aortic valve and root

  • DavidProcedure or surgery

    David procedure: include replacement of aortic root and aortic valvuloplasty

  • ARRProcedure or surgery

    Aortic root reconstruction: reconstruction instead of replacement of aortic root, without surgery of the valve. include sandwich procedure, adventitia invertion procedure, etc.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type A Aortic Dissection, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Death for any reason (time frame: From date of surgery until the date of death for any reason, up to 20 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Apr 2022.
