Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Using the Remodeling Technique With Aortic Annuloplasty: Bicuspid Valves With Repair of Specific Lesion Sets: How I Teach It

Abstract

In this second article, we describe our approach to teaching valve-sparing aortic root replacement using the remodeling technique with aortic annuloplasty in BAVs. Reconstructing the root and repairing the valve in BAV requires slightly different considerations to the case of TAV.

We describe teaching of the standardized technique for both straightforward cases and for specific valve lesion sets.
