– How do we decide between a Ross procedure or a modified Ross procedure? Who are the candidates, and what is their anatomy like?

– Perhaps most interesting, hear what she has to say about how and why we should be cautious when interpreting long-term results, even from large studies and meta-analyses.

– Advantages, disadvantages, complications, autograft failure predictors, and more!

Prof. Ruggero De Paulis

MVT Aortic 2022, vol.2

– Pros and cons of valve-sparing versus the pros and cons of biological or mechanical Bentall procedures

– Plenty of data with plenty of insights, get ready to take notes

– Experience and confidence reign supreme

– If relevant, don’t forget to plan for future valve-in-valve

Dr. Patrick Klein

MVT Aortic 2022, vol.2

– Listen to what he has to say about total aortic root replacement.

– How can we assess the durability and avoid adverse valve-related events when using mechanical and biological valves?

– Hear about his personal experience using new-generation biological valves in patients 57 ± 7 years old.

MVT Aortic 2022, vol.1

-Cosmesis vs clinical benefit? Cross-clamp times? Extra costs? Have you thought about these aspects before?

-What about less pain? Less blood loss? Shorter ICU stays? Lower rates of atrial fibrillation? Remember, there are always pros and cons.

-If combined procedures are necessary, minimally invasive can be a choice in experienced centers

Prof. Michael Borger

MVT Aortic 2022, vol.1

-The “aortic size paradox”: an interesting paradox, indeed

-Length? Diameter? Which should we pay more attention to?

-Be sure to pay attention to genetics, biomarkers, abnormal flow, other risk factors, and more

Prof. Augusto d’Onofrio

MVT Aortic 2022, vol.1

– Valve-in-valve, TAVI in TAVI, SAVR after TAVI… familiarize yourself with the mid-to-long-term data for each valve type combination, and transparently inform the patients of not only the benefits but also the risks

– Even the experts say, extracting an infected TAVI is extremely difficult, so be sure to choose the original valve wisely
