Management of the dissected aortic root in young patients: A propensity score-matched analysis of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement
There is no survival advantage of mech-Bentall in ATAAD in young patients at 10 years, and it is associated with a significantly higher rate of morbid complications. When the aortic valve cannot be spared, bio-Bentall should be considered in ATAAD, even in young patients.
