Valve sparing aortic replacement - root remodeling

Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg. 2006 Jan 1;2006(1110):mmcts.2006.001982. doi: 10.1510/mmcts.2006.001982.

Abstract

Aortic root remodeling restores aortic root geometry and improves valve competence. We have used this technique whenever aorto-ventricular diameter is preserved. The operative technique is detained in this presentation. As a result of our 10-year experience with root remodeling we propose this operation as a reproducible option for patients with dilatation of the aortic root.
