Outcomes of the modified Cabrol technique in aortic root replacement: Early and midterm experience.

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
objectivesThe modified Cabrol technique has been associated with excellent graft patency. However, prior studies were limited to patients largely on long-term anticoagulation. We sought to analyze outcomes in patients primarily managed without mechanical prostheses.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent aortic root replacement by a single surgeon from 2014 to 2024. Patients who underwent reimplantation of one or both coronary ostia using the modified Cabrol technique with separate interposition grafts were identified. Baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes were reported. Predictors of mortality were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards, and overall survival was reported using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
resultsWe identified 91 patients who underwent the modified Cabrol technique. The median age was 62 [interquartile range, 52-71] years, and 91.2% (83/91) were male. Patients presented urgently or emergently in 38.5% (35/91) of cases, and for acute dissection in 23.1% (21/91) of cases, and endocarditis in 15.4% (14/91). Patients required redo sternotomy in 50% of cases. A mechanical composite valve graft was used in only 7.7% (7/91) of patients. The incidence of long-term myocardial infarction was 4.4% (4/91). Survival at 1 and 5 years was 93% and 89% respectively. There was no significant association with the utilization of Cabrol graft and long-term mortality (Hazard Ratio 1.74, 95% CI 0.76-4.01, p-value 0.219).
conclusionsPatients undergoing the modified Cabrol technique had an acceptable risk of mortality in short- and midterm follow-up. The modified Cabrol technique is a valuable tool in an aortic surgeon's arsenal and should be used selectively.
