Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of modified mini-root operation on aortic root diseases with the short and middle term follow-up results. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of thirty-one patients of modified mini-root operations between March 2008 to September 2012. There were 22 male and 9 female patients with mean age of 47.2±21.3 years(ranged from 28 to 71 years). Fifteen patients were diagnosed with acute aortic dissection(Standford A). Thirteen patients were of Marfan syndrome including 8 patients with aortic dissection and 3 patients of bi-leaflet aortic valve malformation with aortic dissection. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 50 months. Thirteen patients of mini-root operation without other procedure(mini-root operation group) were selected to compare with 8 patients of Bentall operation(Bentall operation group). Some clinical indexes were compared between the two groups. Results Three patients died in hospital, in which 1 died from low cardiac out-put syndrome and multiple organ failure, 1 from descending aortic aneurysm rupture, and 1 from acute cerebral infarction. Three patients suffered with acute renal insufficiency and received hemodialysis. During the follow-up, 1 patient received continuous kidney dialysis treatment, and 3 patients performed reoperation. Compared with the Bentall group, the cardiopulmonary bypass time was shorter (108.5±20.8 min vs. 138.5±19.0 min), postoperative blood transfusion volume in the first 24 h was less(661.6±135.0 ml vs. 1 381.2±517.5 ml) than those in the mini-root group. Conclusion Modified mini-root technique can significantly shorten the operation time and reduce the amount of blood transfusion in the treatment of aortic root diseases. The modified mini-root technique has obvious effect on selected aortic root diseases during perioperative period.
