Predictors of Recurrent Aortic Insufficiency in Type I Bicuspid Aortic Valve Repair

ConclusionsVSRR is associated with improved longitudinal BAV durability compared to SCA. Preoperative annulus diameter of ≥30 mm is associated with increased recurrent AI, especially SCA patients. For annular indications, ESAR might offer comparable functional outcomes to VSRR, however further follow-up is critical.
