more research is warranted to understand outcomes of differing operative techniques
and patient populations.

- Health-Related Quality of Life After Extensive Aortic ReplacementSeminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryVol. 34Issue 3
- PreviewTo assess and compare patient-reported long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after combined proximal aortic (arch ± ascending, root) and distal aortic (descending thoracic ± abdominal) replacement using open vs multimodal/endovascular (hybrid) approaches. From 2010 to 2016, 146 adults underwent single- or multi-stage aortic arch plus descending thoracic aorta replacement, 31 open and 115 hybrid. The 2 surgical approach groups had similar preoperative characteristics and extent of surgery.
