New technique of aortic root reconstruction with aortic valve annuloplasty in ascending aortic aneurysm.
We describe a new technique of aortic valve conservation for ascending aortic aneurysm with aortic valvular insufficiency. This technique allows a total anatomic aortic root reconstruction associated with an aortic annuloplasty preventing late annulus dilation and reoperation. Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility and the safety of this new original procedure.
