Why the study?
Valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation is rarely performed using minimally invasive techniques despite being the preferred method for selected patients with aortic root aneurysms.
Population
Appropriately selected patients with aortic root aneurysms
Design
Descriptive report of a systematic minimally invasive surgical approach
Key result
Minimally invasive valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation was performed safely in 13 patients with 0% mortality, stroke, new-onset renal insufficiency, and bleeding.

Describes a systematic approach to performing valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation in a minimally invasive fashion.
Shah et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Aortic root aneurysm (n=13). Minimally invasive valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation was evaluated on Mortality, stroke, new-onset renal insufficiency, and bleeding. Minimally invasive valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation was performed safely in 13 patients with 0% mortality, stroke, new-onset renal insufficiency, and bleeding.
