Abstract
Aortic valve-sparing root reconstructive surgery has been widely adopted to improve the patient's quality of life. We experienced a patient who required reoperation for progressive aortic regurgitation 17 months after the initial operation of valve-sparing root reconstruction with the reimplantation method in acute aortic dissection. In this study, we were concerned with valve durability because of the absence of sinuses of Valsalva in the new aortic root and the need for careful follow-up after this procedure.
