Comparison of Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Reimplantation versus Bentall Root Procedure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

 A bioprosthesis- or mechanical-prosthesis-containing polyester graft (composite graft) is standard surgical management for aortic root aneurysms (Bentall procedure), but particularly in the young patient in whom a bioprosthesis is likely to deteriorate and a mechanical prosthesis mandates life-long anticoagulation, valve-sparing procedures have been devised. One such procedure involves reimplantation of the native aortic valve in the polyester graft. With focus on selecting the optimum procedure for young relatively asymptomatic patients, we compared outcomes of reimplantation of the aortic valve versus the Bentall procedure and identified factors influencing outcomes.

Methods

 From January 2000 to January 2017, 643 adults age ≤ 70 with tricuspid aortic valves un
