This study compared the outcomes of hemiarch and total arch replacement for ATAAD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for comparative studies on hemiarch versus total arch replacement that were published before May 1, 2022.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 23 observational studies with a total of 4,576 patients. Combined data analysis showed that early mortality (RR = 0.82; 95% CI: 0.70\u20130.97; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.02), incidence of postoperative permanent neurological dysfunction (RR = 0.72; 95%CI:0.54\u223c0.94; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.02), and incidence of renal failure and dialysis (RR = 0.82; 95%CI:0.71\u223c0.96; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.01) were all lower for hemiarch than for total arch replacement. However, hemiarch replacement had a higher rate of late mortality (RR = 1.37; 95%CI:1.10\u223c1.71; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.005). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of re-operation for bleeding, aortic re-operation, or postoperative pneumonia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, hemiarch replacement had better early outcomes but a higher late mortality rate than total arch replacement.
