Single-center experience with all-biological valved conduit for the treatment of complex aortic root endocarditis
Despite the small sample size, our results indicate favorable long-term survivals and minimal need for reoperation with the BioIntegral conduit. This conduit demonstrated positive outcomes even in patients with complex surgical histories and severe aortic root and valve endocarditis. Although promising, these results warrant further investigation with larger patient groups to confirm their broader applicability.
