BAV and aortic aneurysm: valve sparing vs. Bentall

June 15, 2022

Prof. Alessandro Della Corte

MVT Aortic 2022, vol.1

– Patients with an “ascending” phenotype? A separate vale and ascending graft replacement procedure is an option

– Patients with a “root” phenotype? Consider addressing the root earlier (50 mm root diameter)

– Bentall is still the gold standard, but valve-sparing procedures have similarly good results
