Clinical results of combined aortic valve-sparing root replacement and mitral valve repair.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Aortic valve-sparing root replacement using the reimplantation technique and mitral valve (MV) repair are well-established surgical approaches for the treatment of aortic root pathologies and mitral valve insufficiency. However, the management of concomitant diseases with a dual valve-preserving strategy remains poorly described. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of concomitant valve-sparing surgery and MV repair.

Methods

This case series includes all the patients who underwent combined valve-sparing root replacement and MV repair at Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc (Brussels, Belgium) between January 2000 and June 2022. Actual survival rate and freedom from reoperation were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log
