Supports combined valve-sparing root replacement with multiple repairs in selected patients; leaves open durability beyond 5 years.
Cohort (n=97)
Valve-sparing aortic root replacement demonstrates good mid-term outcomes with 88% freedom from mortality, root reoperation, and aortic regurgitation at 5 years, even with a high incidence of concomitant valve repairs.
Koolbergen et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Aortic root disease requiring replacement (n=97). Valve-sparing aortic root replacement was evaluated on Absence of mortality, root reoperation and aortic regurgitation at 5-year follow-up. Valve-sparing aortic root replacement demonstrated good mid-term outcomes, with 88.0% of patients free from mortality, root reoperation, and aortic regurgitation at 5 years.
