BACKGROUND: Aortic root reimplantation and remodeling have been used to preserve the
native aortic valve. However, direct observation of valve motions with these techniques has …

Background—Valve sparing aortic root reimplantation technique in patients with aortic root
aneurysm have shown excellent mid-term results. In conjunction with the diameter of the …

The goal of this study was to characterize medium-term changes in aortic root geometry after
stentless aortic valve replacement, the relationship between aortic sinotubular junction and …

Aortic valve insuYciency may be caused by abnormalities of the leaflets, the root, or a
combination of both. In some patients, the primary pathology is confined to the aortic root …

Aims Aortic regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is one of the
most frequent complications. However, the underlying mechanisms of this complication …

Aims Understanding the anatomy of the aortic root is particularly relevant in the current era
of evolving management strategies including percutaneous and transcatheter therapeutic …

OBJECTIVE: Despite concern that small aortic valve prostheses can lead to prosthesis–
patient mismatch with diminished left ventricular mass regression and poor long-term …

The aim of this study is to evaluate distensibility of the aortic root and function of the aortic
cusp after aortic root replacement using valve sparing procedure. Between October 1999 …

Objective The lack of annular stabilization is the drawback of aortic root remodeling, and
recently the addition of annuloplasty has been proposed. Limited data, however, exist on …

Methods: Square specimens, oriented in the longitu-dinal and circumferential directions,
were excised from porcine ascending aorta and aortic sinuses. Specimens were subjected …
