BAV and aortic aneurysm: valve sparing vs. Bentall
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
