Safety and Efficacy of the Minimally Invasive Bentall Procedure Via a Small Right Intercostal Incision in Patients With Aortic Root Lesions: an Investigator-initiated, Single-center, Retrospective Cohort Study
This study intends to include patients who had aortic root lesions and were treated with Bentall surgery from January 2019 to July 2023 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The patients will be divided into the minimally invasive group and control group according to the surgical methods: the former underwent minimally invasive Bentall surgery through a small right intercostal incision; the latter underwent traditional Bentall surgery through a median sternal incision. By comparing the clinical data of patients in two groups, we will investigate the effect and safety of minimally invasive Bentall surgery.
