Selective Sinus Replacement—Is It Enough…Possibly?

Abstract

Selective Sinus Replacement for Aortic Root Aneurysm: Durable Approach in Selected PatientsThe Annals of Thoracic SurgeryPreviewSelective sinus replacement (SSR) allows a tailored repair approach in patients with sinus of Valsalva or asymmetric aortic root aneurysm. SSR avoids the need for coronary reimplantation for nondiseased sinuses and shortens operative time, although potential for late growth of retained sinuses exists. This study describes selection of patients and assesses operative outcomes and late root dimensions after SSR. Full-Text PDF
