Similar 5-year event-free survival; leaves open whether remodelling offers durable Bentall alternative in selected aortic aneurysm patients.
Does aortic root remodelling improve event-free survival compared to the Bentall operation in patients with aortic expansive aneurysm and concomitant aortic valve disease?
Mid-term follow-up showed no statistically significant difference in event-free survival between aortic root remodelling and the Bentall operation, supporting the use of root remodelling in carefully selected patients.
Bassano et al. (2001) studied this question.
