Sparing aortic valve techniques

Abstract: Prosthetic valve implantation is the most widely used therapeutic option for aortic regurgitation (AR), but complications associated with prosthetic valves, with an incidence of 3-5% patient/year, and the need for anticoagulation in mechanical valves, force us to consider aortic valve repair as an alternative to the prosthetic implant, especially in young people with many potential years of life for these complications.Aortic valve repair techniques are not excessively complicated, but there is no standardizat… Show more

“…Bentall is more popular than the AVS because its learning curve is less steep rendering it more reproducible. The use of AVS, however, has expanded in the last years due to encouraging reported results (28,29) and has been embraced with enthusiasm. Specialized centers report reduced cardiac mortality and valve-related morbid event rates for AVS when compared with composite valve graft surgery (30).…”
