Abstract
In patients undergoing aortic root surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest for disease extending into the aortic arch, reducing intraoperative PRBC transfusion except when absolutely necessary may reduce postoperative LOS and expedite recovery. Performing aortic valve-sparing root replacement, when feasible, may also reduce LOS.
