Abstract
For aortic root replacement in annuloaortic ectasia (AAE), an artificial prosthesis is commonly sutured to the aortic annulus (hemodynamic ventriculoaortic junction). We consecutively had 6 cases of aortic root replacement using anatomic ventriculoaortic junction suture. This anatomic ventriculoaortic junction suture is a simplified and practical method for aortic root replacement in the same way as using stentless bioprostheses or homografts.
