Why the study?
Native valve preservation has become increasingly important, prompting progressive use of valve-sparing root replacement procedures such as the reimplantation technique.
Does valve-sparing root replacement with the reimplantation technique provide durable long-term survival and freedom from reintervention in adults with aortic root aneurysm or aortic regurgitation?
Population
652 adult patients undergoing valve-sparing root replacement with the reimplantation technique
Comparison
Root aneurysm without AR vs root aneurysm with AR vs isolated chronic AR
Design
Single-center prospective database cohort study

Single-center reimplantation experience supports valve preservation in selected patients; leaves open need for prospective multicenter validation.
Does valve-sparing root replacement with the reimplantation technique provide durable long-term survival and freedom from reintervention in adults with aortic root aneurysm or aortic regurgitation?
Valve-sparing root replacement using the reimplantation technique provides excellent long-term survival comparable to the general population and high freedom from reoperation up to 12 years.
