The question may be asked why another Guideline manuscript is needed. The reasons are
fivefold:(1) to outline pros and cons of treatment options;(2) to outline areas where further …

Background Aortic valve repair has emerged as a feasible alternative to replacement in the
surgical treatment of selected patients with aortic valve (AV) pathology. In order to provide a …

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac
malformation, occurring in 1% to 2% of the population. Eventually, 20% develop clinically …

Objective To evaluate long-term results of aortic root procedures combined with ascending
aorta replacement for aneurysms, using 4 surgical strategies. Methods From January 1995 …

Objectives To assess intermediate-term outcomes of aortic root replacement with valve-
sparing reimplantation of bicuspid aortic valves (BAV), compared with tricuspid aortic valves …

OBJECTIVE: We suggest standardizing aortic valve repair using a physiologic approach by
associating root remodeling with resuspension of the cusp effective height and external …

A standardized approach to aortic valve repair is described associating a physiological
remodeling of the root, with resuspension of cusp effective height and a subvalvular aortic …

Background A bioprosthesis-or mechanical-prosthesis–containing polyester graft
(composite graft) is standard surgical management for aortic root aneurysms (Bentall …

OBJECTIVE: For patients with aortic root pathology and aortic valve regurgitation, aortic
valve replacement is problematic because no durable bioprosthesis exists, and mechanical …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the early results of the David V valve-sparing aortic root
replacement procedure in expanded, higher risk clinical scenarios with appropriately …
