Systematic approach to aortic valve reimplantation outlines key techniques to optimize anatomy and function.
This paper provides a systematic description of the technical aspects of the aortic valve reimplantation procedure to help standardize the technique and improve outcomes.

May aid standardization of aortic valve reimplantation; leaves open prospective outcome validation before practice change.
Aortic valve (AV) sparing procedures are increasingly being used to treat aortic root pathology. Reimplantation of the aortic valve, first described by Dr Tirone David, is a technically demanding procedure whose long-term results are critically dependent on perfect intraoperative restoration of valve anatomy and function. There exists significant variation in how this procedure is performed by different surgeons, which is likely contributory to the heterogeneity in reported results. We describe a systematic approach to aortic valve reimplantation procedure focusing on key technical aspects.

Boodhwani et al. (2009) conducted a review in Aortic root pathology. Aortic valve reimplantation technique was evaluated. A systematic approach to the aortic valve reimplantation procedure is described, focusing on key technical aspects to optimize intraoperative restoration of valve anatomy and function.
