What are the long-term clinical outcomes of total root replacement using a stentless bioprosthetic valve in patients with severe aortic insufficiency and ascending aortic aneurysm?
The stentless aortic root bioprosthesis demonstrates excellent long-term durability and survival in patients with severe aortic insufficiency and ascending aortic aneurysm.
Ezelsoy et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in severe aortic insufficiency with ascending aortic aneurysm (n=77). Total root replacement using a stentless Freestyle valve was evaluated on 10-year freedom from aortic valve reoperation. Total root replacement using a stentless Freestyle valve in patients with aortic insufficiency and ascending aortic aneurysm resulted in a 10-year freedom from aortic valve reoperation of 93.4%.
