Long-term outcomes after aortic valve surgery in patients with aortic regurgitation with preserved ejection fraction and left ventricular dilation

ConclusionsAVR can be performed with an acceptable outcome in patients with severe AR accompanied by LVEF  ≥ 55% and LVEDD >  65 mm. The LVESVi has the best predictive value for prognosis and the cut-off value is 59 ml/m2, and has the best predictive value for incomplete LV reverse remodeling and the cut-off value is 56  ml/m2.
