Aortic flow after valve sparing root replacement with or without neosinuses reconstruction

This study applied advanced 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging processing to assess differences in aortic flow dynamics after valve sparing root replacement, with and without reconstruction of the Valsalva sinuses.We enrolled patients after valve sparing root replacement with a straight tubular prosthesis (n = 10) or with a prosthesis with Valsalva neosinuses (n = 10); age-matched subjects without cardiovascular diseases served as...
