Reprint of: Reoperations on the total aortic arch in 119 patients: Short- and mid-term outcomes, focusing on composite adverse outcomes and survival analysis∗

Aortic arch reoperations, although technically demanding, can produce acceptable results. Preoperative pulmonary disease, CPB time, and concomitant coronary artery bypass predicted an adverse outcome. The CPB time predicted mortality, and previous thoracoabdominal aortic surgery predicted stroke.
