The long-term benefits of total arch replacement (TAR) versus hemiarch replacement for treating aortic dissection have been debated, with most studies showing no difference in survival rates between the two methods. However, TAR may be more effective in preventing distal aortic events, particularly in patients under 70 years old.

This is a highly novel way for performing an aortic root replacement, where the aorta is opened but not resected, and the coronary buttons are not harvested. Instead, the valsalva root graft is placed into the aortic annulus, and the coronary arteries are then sutured to the graft in situ without cutting the wall of the aorta.
