Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Devices
  • Aortic Diseases

Background:

  • Aortic root and ascending aorta dilatation poses significant risks.
  • Personalized External Aortic Root Support (PEARS) is an emerging technology for managing aortopathy.
  • Comprehensive understanding of PEARS indications, technique, and safety is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize indications, surgical technique, and safety of PEARS.
  • To provide physicians and patients with information to evaluate PEARS.
  • To assess the efficacy of PEARS in preventing aortic dilatation.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter observational study.
  • Data collected from 317 patients across 25 surgical centers in 9 countries.
  • Follow-up data including long-term survival.

Main Results:

  • The most common indication for PEARS was Marfan syndrome (57%).
  • A single perioperative death resulted in a mortality rate of 0.3%.
  • Long-term follow-up included 871 patient-years, with some patients living over 10-15 years.

Conclusions:

  • PEARS is a promising treatment for aortic root and ascending aorta dilatation.
  • Further multicenter observational studies are needed to build experience with PEARS.
  • The low number of operations per surgeon/center highlights the need for more data.
