3 VSRR: At the beginning Of the Valve Sparing Root Replacement Era

4 VSRR: At the beginning Remodeling technique (1983) Reimplantation technique (1992) Sir M. Yacoub Prof. T. David

5 VSRR: Initial enthusiasm for both techniques (Reimpl Remod) Stanford Harrefield 1983 Toronto 1992 Hopkins Lubeck Hannover 1993 Brussels 1996 Kari F.A. Circ 2013

6 VSRR: Why so such hesitation? Remodeling Reimplantation Faster Less root dissection Only 1 suture line More hemostatic Annuloplasty

7 VSRR: Doubt on Remodeling Stanford Toronto 1992 Hopkins Harrefield Lubeck Hannover 1993 Brussels : 158 patients : 82 Marfans M.H. Yacoub JTCVS 1998 E.J. Birks. Circ 1999

8 VSRR: Doubt on Remodeling Stanford Toronto 1992 Hopkins Harrefield Lubeck Hannover 1993 Brussels : 220 patients : 61 Marfans T. David JTCVS 2006 N. de Oliveira JTCVS 2003

10 VSRR: Doubt on Remodeling N.D. Patel ATS 2008 Stanford Toronto 1992 Hopkins Lubeck Harrefield Hannover 1993 Brussels 1996 S.M. Cattaneo

11 VSRR: Doubt on Remodeling Toronto Hopkins Stanford 2001 Lubeck Harrefield Hannover 1993 Brussels R.G. Leyh

12 VSRR: Doubt on Remodeling Toronto Hopkins Stanford 2001 Lubeck Harrefield Hannover 1993 Brussels Remodeling A.W. Erasmi ATS2007

13 VSRR: Lack of annuloplasty in Remodeling Toronto Hopkins Stanford 2001 Lubeck Harrefield Hannover 1993 Brussels 2001 Hanke T., Sievers H.J. JTCS 2009: 191 VSRR, 76% TAV 56% Remodeling

14 VSRR: While the world was almost bleu and in peace Paris Homburg 1995 Two irreducible Gallic....

15 VSRR: The rational for Remodeling? Paris Homburg 1995 R.G. Leyh Circ A. Erasmi JTCVS 2005 Snapshot, close to native AV dynamics does not mean DURABILITY! LACK of annuloplasty in remodeling seems influence much more durability!

16 VSRR: Lack of annuloplasty in Remodeling Homburg Kunihara T., Schäfers H.J. JTCVS VSRR, 70% TAV, 93% Remodeling

17 % % Navarra E. EJCTS 2013 De Kerchove L. EJCTS VSRR: Annuloplasty in Reimplantation 60 SCA VAJ 28mm SCA VAJ 28mm p= BAV Pts at risk Years VAJ VAJ > FF AR > VAJ <30mm 80 VAJ 30mm B p = 0.93 TAV p=0.38 VAJ <28mm VSR VAJ 28mm VAJ 28mm VSR VAJ 28mm FF AR >1+ p = 0.4

18 VSRR: Longest term results of Reimplantation vs Remodeling Toronto : 371 patients (296 Reimpl 75 Remod) T. David JTCVS 2014

19 VSRR: Longest term results of Reimplantation vs Remodeling.. Hopkins.... Toronto : 146 Marfans (121 Reimpl 25 Remod) : 146 Marfans (69 Reimpl 29 Remod) T. David JACC 2015 J. Price JTCVS 2016

20 VSRR: Evolution of the Remodeling technique Reimplantation Circumferential external band Suture Annuloplasty But Operative time! Root dissection! AV dynamics? Bleeding? Improve durability? E. Lansac 2006 (started in 2003) H.J. Schäfers 2013 (started 2008)

21 VSRR: Doubt on the Reimplantation technique Bissell M. Eur Heart J Katayama JTCVS 2008 Reimplantation Risk of cusp damage and rapid deterioration of the valve! Only very occasionally reported No significant clinical impact R.G. Leyh Circ Max valve opening coronary vascularisation Stress less opening/closure

22 VSRR: Evolution of the Reimplantation technique Reimplantation David V Stanford Modification Valsalva Sinus Graft Cardioroot C. Miller R. De Paulis 2002 Sinus Graft H. Sievers

23 VSRR: Why Reimplantation should be preferred Safe and reproducible, disseminated worldwide Proven durability up to 15y in TAV, BAV, Marfan and dissection! One sizing, one device (graft) ( Remodeling + annuloplasty) Costs of the procedure! Ability to modify valve geometry (from asymmetric BAV to 180 symmetric configuration) ( Remodeling ± annuloplasty)

24 VSRR: Wathever the technique you choose, do a Reimplantation! Brussels Gallic s Technique Homburg Gallic s technique Paris Gallic s technique

25 Thank you Me at diner tonight!

26 VSRR: Why Reimplantation should be preferred But, excellent long term durability can be achieve in Reimplantation only if Technical pitfalls avoided (sizing, commissure resuspension) Appropriate cusp management Central Cusp Plication Schäfers HJ. JTCVS 2006 Aicher D. Circ. 2011
