Valve-sparing aortic root replacement: Long-term variables significantly associated with mortality and morbidity

In aortic root surgery, valve-sparing aortic root replacement is an attractive alternative by mitigating the risks inherent to prosthetic valves; however, little is known about the variables that impact its durability. We review our mid- to long-term outcomes after valve-sparing aortic root replacement and  describe factors that impact survival and valve reintervention and insufficiency.
