Valve-sparing root replacement was associated with better outcomes in selected patients; leaves open whether it should be preferred over Bentall without randomized confirmation.

Does valve-sparing aortic root replacement improve freedom from recurrent aortic insufficiency, reoperation, or death compared to the Bentall procedure in patients with aortic root disease?
Valve-sparing root replacement offers improved combined freedom from death and reoperation compared to Bentall procedures, though Bentall remains necessary for more severe or emergent cases.
Hamandi et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in aortic root disease (n=170). Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) vs. Bioprosthetic Bentall (BB) and mechanical Bentall (MB) was evaluated on Composite endpoint of freedom from recurrent aortic insufficiency, reoperation, or death. Among 170 patients, valve-sparing aortic root replacement yielded higher combined freedom from death and reoperation compared to bioprosthetic or mechanical Bentall procedures.
