Discussion

Implication

May support standardized bicuspid repair in selected cases; leaves open durability and comparative efficacy questions.

Structured PICO

Does a standardized surgical repair technique addressing both the valve and aortic root improve outcomes in patients with bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation?

Population

68 patients with bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation (30 with isolated aortic regurgitation, 38 with associated ascending aortic aneurysm)

Intervention

Standardized and integrated surgical technique (resection of median raphe or leaflet plication, subcommissural annuloplasty, reinforcement of leaflet free edge, and sinotubular junction plication; plus reimplantation or remodeling of the aortic root for patients with proximal aortic dilatation)

Outcome

Postoperative aortic regurgitation grade, re-operation rate, hospital mortality, and NYHA classhard clinical

A standardized surgical approach addressing both the valve and aortic root in bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation provides excellent mid-term clinical and echocardiographic outcomes.
