Summary

This study compares two surgical methods for repairing a bulging aorta (ascending aortic aneurysm). Half of the 200 participants will receive a standard full chest incision (full sternotomy), and the other half a smaller J-shaped cut (mini-sternotomy). Researchers will track early deaths, strokes, and other complications to see if the smaller incision offers similar safety and outcomes.
