Evaluating neurological outcomes of and risk factors for hypoattenuated leaflet thickening following aortic root replacement and arch surgery
HALT is observed in a high percentage of cases following aortic root replacement combined with complex aortic procedures. Furthermore, it is associated with an increased risk of neurological events but only a weak correlation was demonstrated with the perioperative coagulation management. While no long-term implications were noted, these findings suggest the necessity for further investigations, longer follow-up periods, and more comprehensive diagnostic approaches.
