Key result
Bicuspid aortic valve-sparing surgery is a viable alternative to valve replacement, demonstrating promising mid-term outcomes including 100% freedom from reoperation at 15 months in the authors' institutional experience.
Aortic valve-sparing surgery is a viable and safe option for patients with incompetent bicuspid aortic valves, avoiding the long-term risks associated with prosthetic valves.
Supports valve-sparing repair for incompetent bicuspid valves; leaves open durability beyond mid-term institutional data.
