Aneurysmatic aortic root in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis: mini-invasive approach with sutureless prosthesis

Abstract

The implantation of sutureless bioprosthesis is currently not recommended in patients affected by bicuspid aortic valve because lacking data and follow up. We report the first case of a patient affected by bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and aneurysm of non coronary sinus of Valsalva that underwent a successful substitution of aneurysmatic sinus and minimal invasive sutureless implantation.
