ABSTRACT
The advent of aortic valve repair alongside the well-established technique of valve replacement changed the landscape of cardiac surgery, as well as the lives of patients suffering from valvular disease. Repair represents a novel option in those unfit for replacement and avoids the burden of lifelong anticoagulation in younger patients. Despite this, the associated risk of persistence of aortic insufficiency, and therefore reoperation, with valvular repair renders clinical decision making between the two techniques difficult. Unlike the burden of evidence supporting mitral valve repair over replacement, the debate surrounding aortic valve surgery continues. This article aims to explore the development of operative techniques underlying aortic valve repair as well as summarising existing research into short- and long-term patient outcomes in both aortic valve repair and replacement.
