Valve Sparing Root Replacement Provides Similar Mid-term Outcomes in Bicuspid and Trileaflet Valves

ConclusionsVSRR can be safely and effectively performed in patients with trileaflet and bicuspid valves. Operative outcomes and valve function were equivalent in bicuspid and trileaflet patients in mid-term follow-up. Performance of VSRR is a viable term option in the setting bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy.
