Abstract
Methods Between June 1996 and November 2012, 21 patients who underwent aortic valve sparing for aortic root aneurysm were retrospectively reviewed. Mean age was 45 ± 16 years. 9 patients had Marfan syndrome and one patient had Takayasu arteritis. All patients had tricuspid aortic valve except one patient with bicuspid valve, and 15 patients showed moderate or severe degree of aortic regurgitation. 15 patients were diagnosed with annuloaortic ectasia, 2 with ascending aortic aneurysm, 2 with aortic dissection and 2 with sinus valsalva aneurysm. Reimplantation of aortic root was performed in 13 patients and remodeling techniques in 8. Mean follow up duration was 69.4 months.
