Large-sized root aneurysm and high-grade aortic regurgitation (AR) might be contraindications for a valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedure (V-SARR) and aortic valve repair. The impact of a combination of root reimplantation and additional cusp/commissure repair on valve sufficiency in this setting was investigated with respect to early- and mid-term functional outcome.
