Valve Sparing Root Replacement Provides Excellent Mid-Term Outcomes for Bicuspid Valve Aortopathy

ConclusionsVSRR can be safely and effectively performed in young patients with bicuspid valve anatomy regardless of degree of pre-operative AI. Valve function is durable and the incidence of valve-related complications is low. VSRR is an attractive and potentially superior option to conventional root replacement in appropriately selected patients with bicuspid aortopathy.
