Abstract
Aortic valve disease is common and valve-preserving operations are preferred whenever possible. Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) has become an important tool for managing aortic root pathology in children and adults. The learning curve for this operation is challenging but with increasing experience and technical modifications, early and late outcomes continue to improve. Durable long term results vary based on underlying anatomy, pathology, and patient selection, and surgeon expertise. The purpose of Part II of this VSRR State of the Art Review article is to provide technical pearls related to VSRR.
