ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a surgical procedure called the Bentall procedure, which is used to treat issues with the aortic root, such as aortic dissection and aortic root aneurysm. The trial is comparing two different ways of performing this surgery: one method uses a small incision on the right side of the chest (minimally invasive), and the other uses a larger incision down the middle of the chest (traditional). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective for patients who need this type of surgery.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be diagnosed with aortic root lesions and have received the Bentall procedure at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between January 2019 and July 2023. However, some patients may not be eligible, such as those who have had previous heart surgeries or have serious health conditions affecting other organs. Participants in the trial can expect to have their medical data compared between the two surgical methods to help researchers understand the best approach for treating their condition. This information could lead to better treatment options for future patients.
