Abstract:
Allograft aortic root replacement for primary aortic valve or ascending aortic root pathology is the favored method of technical implantation. Results in 418 patients over 15 years demonstrate exceedingly low early mortality (<1%), complete eradication of preoperative endocarditis but poor long-term durability in the young age group of 20 years or less.
