The re-implantation method of valve sparing root replacement continues to be a useful operation in patients with aortic root pathology. Although technically complex, this procedure can reliably be performed on appropriately selected patients. The following Deep Dive session introduces the attendee to concepts centered around patient selection, technical performance, and potential pitfalls and management. Discussion will focus on both trileaflet and bicuspid aortic valve re-implantation methods.

Unless otherwise noted, speakers have nothing to disclose.
