who underwent aortic root surgery between 2006 and 2020. Overall operative mortality was 1.6% with a 10 year survival of 88.6%. The surgical approach was conventional composite root and valve ...

particularly valve-sparing procedures, which aim to preserve the patient's native valve while addressing associated aortic root issues. This approach is particularly relevant for patients with ...

Lastly, the valve-sparing aortic root replacement, particularly the David procedure, has also been adapted for minimally invasive access. This technique has shown excellent clinical outcomes in ...

Patients with aortic valve disease and a dilated ascending aorta are usually treated with a composite graft comprising a valve and conduit. We review here the results of treatment with an aortic root ...

Transthoracic echocardiogram showed abnormally thickened, bicuspid aortic valve with suspicion of paravalvular aortic root abscess. Transoesophageal echocardiogram identified large vegetation on ...

Surgery may be required if Marfan syndrome results in weakening of the aortic wall, leading to development of an aortic aneurysm. Valve-sparing aortic root replacement is surgery to replace the aortic ...

Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) diameter may be measured for valve area calculation. Mild poststenotic dilatation and increased left atrium/aortic root transverse ratio is noted. Blood flow ...
