Key result
Aortic valve-sparing surgery and valvuloplasty resulted in 0% 30-day mortality, 100% survival, and 94% freedom from aortic regurgitation >2 at a mean follow-up of 9 months.

Does aortic valve-sparing surgery improve echocardiographic parameters and clinical outcomes in patients with aortic regurgitation?
Aortic valve-sparing surgery and valvuloplasty are safe and effective, leading to significant improvements in aortic regurgitation and left ventricular dimensions at short- to mid-term follow-up.
Valve-sparing surgery associated with excellent short-term results in AR; leaves open long-term durability versus replacement.

Vojáček et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Aortic regurgitation (n=28). Aortic valve-sparing surgery and aortic valvuloplasty was evaluated on 30-day mortality and mid-term survival. Aortic valve-sparing surgery and valvuloplasty resulted in 0% 30-day mortality, 100% survival, and 94% freedom from aortic regurgitation >2 at a mean follow-up of 9 months.
