Key result
Bicuspid aortic valve repair yielded 95% 10-year survival, with 10-year freedom from reoperation higher after root replacement compared to isolated repair.
Why the study?
Does reconstructive surgery of the bicuspid aortic valve provide safe and durable long-term outcomes in patients with aortic regurgitation and/or aortic aneurysm?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Reconstructive surgery of the bicuspid aortic valve is safe and durable, with better long-term freedom from reoperation when combined with root or tubular aorta replacement compared to isolated repair.

Porras et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Bicuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation and/or aortic aneurysm (n=666). Bicuspid aortic valve reconstructive surgery vs. Isolated repair was evaluated on Freedom from reoperation at 10 years (p=0.005). Bicuspid aortic valve repair yielded 95% 10-year survival, with 10-year freedom from reoperation higher after root replacement compared to isolated repair.
