Advances in Treatments for Aortic Valve and Root Diseases

Abstract

Reoperations for aortic disease are being frequent procedures. The reason is related to increasing life expectancy, numbers of people suffering from aortic stenosis and structural deterioration of a bioprosthesis. It has been estimated that in the next years redo root operations may eventually account about 10% of all ascending aorta surgical procedures [1].
