What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

I have enjoyed reading the dialog between Drs Vallabhajosyula and Ouzounian1,2 on the management of the sinuses of Valsalva in the setting of bicuspid aortic valve in what seems to be competitive conservatism. It would appear that they are in violent agreement on the safety of leaving the left and right sinuses alone but differ perhaps on the management of the noncoronary sinus, or at least on inclusion of those with resection in their data sets. The topic appears to be what one might term “a hearty perennial.” I have been interested for many years in the place of what I would call “separate valve and graft” operations in the treatment of bicuspid aortic valve and associated aortic dilatation.
