Key result
Surgical repair of acute aortic rupture succeeds while preserving the prosthetic valve after AVR.
Why the study?
Acute aortic rupture after aortic valve replacement is an unusual but catastrophic complication.
Acute aortic rupture following aortic valve replacement is a catastrophic event that can be successfully repaired while preserving the bioprosthetic valve.

Feasibility of valve-preserving repair shown in one post-AVR rupture case; leaves open generalizability and requires prospective confirmation.
The occurrence of acute aortic rupture after aortic valve replacement is unusual; but catastrophic. We report a case of a 71-year-old gentleman with a bicuspid aortic valve who developed acute aortic rupture after an elective bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement surgery in which successful repair was carried out with the preservation of the prosthetic valve.
