Abstract
Objective: A hemi-arch reconstruction, using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, is the

conventional approach for proximal aortic arch reconstruction but carries risks of neurologic events and coagulopathy. The addition of a hemi-arch reconstruction to an aortic root
replacement may prevent future aortic arch pathology. Outcomes of this approach at a tertiary care institution were examined to determine whether the addition of a hemi-arch reconstruction

to an aortic root replacement conferred any additional risk.

Methods: 384 patients underwent an aortic root replacement between April 2004 and June 2012. Of them, 177 (46%) had hemi-arch replacement. Propensity score-matching yielded 133 pairs of hemi-arch and non-hemi-arch patients.
Results: Sinus segment diameter was similar between groups; ascending aortic diameter was
