| Abstract | Background: Valve-sparing aortic procedures, including the David and Yacoub procedures, have emerged as the dominant approaches in aortic aneurysm surgery, preserving the native aortic valve and thereby conferring significant prognostic benefits to the patient. Over the years, these procedures have also shown promise in patients with bicuspid valve-related aortopathy. This systematic review and meta-analysis presents the most up-to-date data on perioperative outcomes, freedom from secondary reoperation, and freedom from mortality for bicuspid valve patients undergoing valve-sparing aortic operations. Methods: The methods for this systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses statement. Four databases were searched, ultimately yielding 19 papers for inclusion, using appropriate search terminology. Meta-analysis using proportions or means, as appropriate, were applied. Kaplan-Meier curves were digitized and aggregated using previously validated techniques. Results: A total of 1,159 patients were included. Males accounted for 87.4% of the cohort. The mean age of the cohort was 44.9 years. The mean aortic root diameter was estimated to be 46.3 mm, with an estimated range from 38 to 54 mm. Thirty-day mortality rate was estimated to be 1.7%. Eighty-five percent of patients in this series received the David approach, with the remainder receiving the Yacoub approach. Overall, there was low heterogeneity observed for the mean length of intensive care stay, while high heterogeneity was observed for the other remaining variables of interest. Kaplan-Meier survival estimation at 5, 10, and 15 years was 96%, 90%, and 87%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier freedom from secondary reoperation at 5, 10, and 15 years was 96%, 91%, and 88%, respectively. Conclusions: This review demonstrates the durability and safety of the David and Yacoub valve-sparing procedures across long-term follow-up in bicuspid aortic valve patients. These procedures offer significant freedom from mortality and secondary reoperations on the aorta and valve and will likely continue to demonstrate excellent results into the future. There is a clear transition towards the David procedure, with the bulk of contemporary literature publishing on this technique. |
