Popis: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of perioperative allogeneic packed red blood cell (RBC) transfusion during aortic root replacement. METHOD: We reviewed patients undergoing aortic root replacement at our institution between March 2014 and April 2020. In total, 760 patients underwent aortic root replacement, of whom 442 (58%) received a perioperative RBC transfusion. Propensity score matching was used to account for baseline and operative differences resulting in 159 matched pairs. All-cause mortality was assessed with Kaplan–Meier curves. Data were obtained from our institutional Society of Thoracic Surgeons database and chart review. RESULTS: After propensity score matching, the RBC-transfused and -nontransfused groups were similar for all preoperative characteristics. Cardiopulmonary bypass time, crossclamp time, and lowest operative temperature were similar between the transfused and nontransfused groups (standardized mean difference
