Impact of Preoperative Aortic Root Diameter on Long-Term Aortic Valve Function After Valve Sparing Aortic Root Reimplantation

Abstract

Our data show that the preoperative diameter of the aortic root has no impact on the longevity of the repair. Thus, the reimplantation technique can be recommended for all patients presenting with an aortic root aneurysm and normal leaflets regardless of the aortic root diameter.
