Lars Svensson, MD, PhD, and Xiaoying Lou, MD, discuss valve-sparing aortic root surgery, an advanced technique that preserves the patient’s native valve while treating aortic aneurysms. They explain who qualifies for this procedure, how it’s performed and why it can offer long-term benefits without lifelong blood thinners.
