First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 200 men and women who had surgery to repair a small ascending aortic aneurysm (5.0-5.5 cm). Researchers wanted to see if gender affects early and long-term outcomes like death, heart attack, or bleeding. The goal is to understand why women might have worse results and improve care for everyone.
