Operative technique: sutureless type II hybrid arch repair for acute type A aortic dissection.
Article in Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesHybrid arch repair improved surgical outcomes in aneurysmal disease. Sutureless anastomosis using an intraluminal ringed graft and stent graft bridging has been reported. We incorporate the vascular ring connector, angiography-assisted sutureless telescoping anastomosis technique, and thoracic endovascular aortic repair, rendering the hybrid arch repair for acute type A aortic dissection sutureless. Herein, we presented our sutureless procedure for acute type A aortic dissection.
methodsBetween January 2022 and April 2023, 19 patients who underwent sutureless type II hybrid arch repair were enrolled. The surgical procedures were described. The preoperative demographics, operative details, postoperative outcomes and follow-up results were retrospectively collected.
resultsNineteen patients with a median age of 62 (interquartile range [IQR]: 10.5) and male dominant in 73.7% were recorded. The sutureless type II hybrid arch repair was performed in a median operative time of 397 min (IQR: 111.5), with a cardiopulmonary bypass time of 184 min (IQR: 52.5). The fully sutureless type II hybrid arch repair further reduced the abovementioned times. In-hospital death was two in 10.5%. Seventeen discharged patients had regular follow-ups in a median of 553 days (IQR: 129). The serial computed tomography scan revealed all reconstructed arch vessels were patent, and positive aortic remodelling was observed at the arch and thoracic endoprosthesis levels at 100% and 94.2%, respectively.
conclusionsSutureless type II hybrid arch repair is feasible, demonstrating complete procedural success and favourable postoperative outcomes in mid-term follow-up. Long-term monitoring is necessary to assess this procedure's durability and potential complications.
