Background The Florida sleeve (FS) procedure was developed as a simplified approach for
repair of functional type I aortic insufficiency secondary to aortic root aneurysm. We …

Objectives Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) via partial upper sternotomy (PUS) for aortic root
surgery represents an alternative to the full median sternotomy (FMS). PUS offers less …

Objective To determine the early and long-term outcomes of conventional aortic root (ARR)

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective disease etiologically related
with FBN-1 gene mutation. The altered microfibril protein structure result in characteristic …

Objective The goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of valve-sparing
root replacement in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) and compare them with …

Aortic valve disease is common and valve-preserving operations are preferred whenever
possible. Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) has become an important tool for …

Objective To analyze our long-term experience with valve-sparing reimplantation technique
in treating aortic root aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and aortic dissection in patients with …

Background The 2 main techniques of valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) are
remodeling and reimplantation. There is concern that the aortic annulus, which is not …

Objectives We report the mid-term outcomes of valve-sparing aortic root replacement
(VSRR) in a cohort including patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), connective tissue …

Reimplantation of the aortic valve is a procedure well recognized for its safety, excellent
success in preserving the leaflets without a composite valve graft, and long-term durability …
