However, Group 1 patients showed a trend toward longer operative times (580.07 ± 126.84 vs. 481.25 ± 119.29 min, p = 0.053), which may reflect the increased technical complexity of operating on previously dissected tissue.

Operative Outcomes and Technical Considerations A key finding of this study is the trend toward longer operative times in patients with previous Type A dissection repair compared to those with other prior cardiac surgeries, although this difference did not reach statistical significance (580.07 ± 126.84 vs. 481.25 ± 119.29 min, p = 0.053).
