Aortic Insufficiency & Root Aneurysm • Different treatment options exist • Bentall Procedure1 • Several modifications • Valve-sparing root replacement (VSRR) • Sir MagdiYacoub, Tirone David • We have performed both at our Institution since 2005 1. Bentall H, De Bono A. A technique for complete replacement of the ascending aorta. Thorax. 23(4):338-9.
Methods • Retrospective study • Peri-Operative and short-term data • VSRR via the re-implantation method described by David, et al1 • Modified Bentall Procedures – novel composite biologic graft 1.

“Real-time” Repair Algorithm (AI + Aneurysm) Reimplantation Can valve be Repaired? Should it be Repaired? Repair Yes Yes Remodeling No BioRoot Should it be Replaced? Replace Yes Mechanical Conduit No Ignore
When Should We Repair? • Aortic Leaflet Integrity • Reliable valve-sparing results with: • supple leaflets • normal annular size • Bicuspid and tri-leaflets have good 10-year data • High Failure Rates with: • Severe AI • Multi-leaflet Prolapse • Multiple Fenestrations
When Should We Replace? • Marked leaflet Asymmetry • Multiple leaflet Fenestrations • “Broken leaflets” • Bicuspid Patients • Significant Thickening • Prolapse • Calcification • Multiple Fenestrations • Connective Tissue Patients • Data is unclear • Be cautious in repairing attenuated & severely prolapsed valves
Conclusions • Similar operative times • Low rates of post-op AI, repeat AVR and mortality • Similar short-term outcomes • Reproducible and safe • Need to delineate proper guidelines for indications • Follow-up needed to assess long-term outcomes
