In this video, Dr. Eric Roselli, the Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at Cleveland Clinic, addresses the use of "valve-sparing" techniques designed to preserve (or reconstruct) the aortic valve to provide patients several advantages compared to traditional procedures including (i) mechanical or tissue valve replacement and (Ii) Bentall operations.
Key questions addressed by Dr. Eric Roselli include:
1. According to a recent survey, 33% of patients at HeartValveSurgery.com have bicuspid aortic valves and 20% of patients have aortic aneurysms. What 3 things should patients know about the relationship between bicuspid aortic valves and aneurysms?
2. What is Dr. Roselli's recommended treatment for bicuspid valve and aneurysm patients? Why?
3. What are the patient advantages of valve-sparing procedures?
4. Why are valve-sparing aortic root replacement operations more complex than other bicuspid aortic valve and aneurysm treatments?
5. What are Cleveland Clinic’s outcomes for bicuspid aortic valve-sparing patients?
6. Why are valve-sparing procedure outcomes so important for patients to research and learn about?

Dr. Roselli was my surgeon 7 months ago. I had an aortic aneurysm caused by a bicuspid valve, unfortunately, he could not spare the valve because there was too much plaque buildup on the valve leaflets, so we had to replace the valve and a section of my aorta. Plus I needed a single bypass, so I got several procedures with one open-heart surgery. Feeling great here! I’ve started back running, exercising every day. Dr. Roselli‘s team is the best.

I learn so much from your site. Thank you. 56 and had a emergent Type A dissection while on vacation. Home 30 days later; four subsequent surgeries. In Seattle. That was three years ago and I am still kick’s. I have a pig valve, never met my surgeon and got home safely to Seattle. Scary …. Your site helps me. So much to learn. I’ve also had AML leukemia twice; one before my dissection and reoccurred after. Stem cell survivor of two years now. Crazy but here I am. I’ve often wondered if I should have gone outside of Seattle but far too challenging given all my treatments. Keep helping us learn please.
