Integrated Aortic-Valve-And-Ascending-Aortic Replacement vs. Partial Replacement in Bicuspid Aortic Valve-Related Aortopathy.

ABSTRACT: Objective: We sought to evaluate the outcomes of integrated aortic-valve and ascending-aortic replacement (IR) vs. partial replacement (PR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-related aortopathy. Methods: We compared long-term mortality, reoperation incidence, and the cumulative incidence of stroke, bleeding, significant native valve or prosthetic valve dysfunction, and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes II-IV between inverse probability-weighted cohorts of patients who underwent IR or PR for BAV-related aortopathy in a single center from 2002 to 2019. Patients were stratified into different aortic diameter groups ("valve type" vs. "aorta type"). Results: Among patients with "valve type," aortic valve replacement in patients with an aorti
