Abstract
In non-redo patients, elective primary ARR has excellent early outcomes, regardless of whether repair extends into the proximal arch. Additional elective hemiarch replacement with moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest and antegrade cerebral perfusion has a low risk of neurologic complications and should be performed if necessary. Long-term data are needed to compare the rates of reintervention in the aortic arch in patients with or without proximal arch replacement.
