Personalized External Aortic Root Support (PEARS) in the Treatment of Marfan Syndrome and Bicuspid Aortic Valve Aneurysms: First Case Series in the American Continent
This initial experience demonstrates the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the PEARS technique for the treatment of aortic root aneurysms. Potential advantages over traditional approaches include the possibility for off-pump procedures, reduced risk of aortic valve dysfunction, shorter hospital stays, and elimination of the need for long-term anticoagulation therapy. Further investigation is warranted to evaluate the long-term durability and clinical outcomes of this innovative approach.
