Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement: Surgeon Roundtable with Dr. Roselli and Dr. Koprivanac
www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com: Aortic "Valve-Sparing" Root Replacement is a newer, more complex procedure that provides patients several advantages for the treatment of aortic valve disease in the presence of an aortic aneurysm.
In this special "Surgeon Roundtable" video, Dr. Eric Roselli, Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery, and Dr. Marijan Koprivanac, Cardiac Surgeon, at the Cleveland Clinic, address several patient questions about Aortic Valve-Sparing Root Replacement including:
1. What is valve-sparing aortic root surgery?
2. Why is valve-sparing surgery preferable to a Bentall procedure? What is the difference?
3. Who is a candidate for valve-sparing aortic root surgery?
4. What are Cleveland Clinic’s volumes and outcomes for aortic valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedures?
5. Why are outcomes so important for patients to know and learn about?

Fantastic video thanks. I'm Atlanta based and 4.7 root anx and under CT surveillance. Searching internet now for centers doing the most valve sparing and hard to stratify. Clev is #1 in TAVR and surprisingly Piedmont Atlanta is #2 per Definitive HC. I search CPT code 33863 and still see Clev followed by Mayo, Mt Sinai. Emory only 10 total - I'm glad I watched this vid. Thx again
Guidelines for ARR go from 5.0 to 5.5 cm. Seems like if one is at 5 cm in order to not overly stress the leaflets, it would be wise to not wait until the root reaches 5.5?
My son is having this procedure at OHSU next week
My son had an asd repair at 12 and it was a large defect. He had to have open heart surgery. He had his yearly follow up this week. His aortic root has been dilated since the surgery but this year it has grown. He is at 4.4 now. He was 3.9. The doctor wants an MRI and said he doesn’t like to go a dilation of 4.6
I’m in Massachusetts and want to know if there are any good valve sparing centers here? Thanks
My aortic root aneurysm is 4cm my cardiologist said I’m ok because I don’t smoke or have diabetes.🤷🏻♀️is this bad advice?he said it won’t rupture etc.
Thank you Dr.Roselli and Kopravanac. You mentioned the possibility of this type of surgery with a leaky valve but would a bi-cuspid aortic valve fall under the same category if it is in not stenotic or degenerated?

Hi Siddharth, We want to make sure that we understand the question. Do you mean how long is the life of the Dacron graft used to replace an aneurysm in the aorta? Thanks!

@@siddharth.jain.2916 Hi, As discussed in the video, the hope and design of the valve-sparing procedure, as discussed by Dr. Roselli and Dr. Koprivanac, is that it could last for the patient's lifetime. However, as you probably already know, there is no certainty that this procedure (or any heart valve procedure) will last "forever". That said, please continue to see your cardiologist regularly to track the condition and functioning of your heart. We hope this helps!

Thanks to everyone for posting this, and other, excellent videos about aortic surgeries. I am a 66yo WM, and I live in Seattle. I have a 5.0cm root aneurysm with AR/w eccentric jet (according to the MyChart notes). I suspect I´m going to need surgery at some point, and I´m wondering to myself if it might ge a good idea to go out of state to have it done, as I´m not sure my cardiologist is the right person to do it. (Nothing personal!) Does CC ever have patients from the West Coast?
