The Endovascular Valve-Carrying Conduit
The concept of a transapically-implantable, endovascular, valve–carrying conduit for treating aortic valve and ascending aortic pathologies was rst introduced by Rylski etal. [21]. The endo-conduit consists of a proximal transcatheter aortic valve connected to an uncovered portion of a covered stent-graft. This device is capable of
1. closing a primary entry tear in the ascending aorta,
2. ensuring coronary and cerebral perfusion,
3. stabilizing the distal aorta, initiating true lumen expansion and ensuring distal
malperfusion,
4. treating aortic regurgitation, and
5. draining any pericardial effusion via a transapical approach
While conventional TEVAR with a straight tube graft requires two landing zones to afx and seal the graft durably, the valve-carrying conduit would encompass a third, proximal landing zone within the aortic annulus ensuring durable and stable anchorage of the entire device (Fig.1). Hence, the proximal and distal stent-graft landing zones need not sustain the stent-graft itself, it merely needs to seal it off. Thus, oversizing of the conventional stent-graft landing zones proximally and dis­tally becomes unnecessary, and the landing zones can potentially be even shorter. The latter would enlarge the pool of patients even more.
Individualization is a cornerstone of the conduit because the size of the catheter valve and stent-graft portion can be specically selected to ideally accommodate the patient’s unique anatomy and their specic entry-tear location within the ascending aorta. In a large feasibility study [9], our group was recently able to demonstrate that over two-thirds of all patients suffering an acute type A aortic dissection are poten­tial candidates for the endovascular valve-carrying conduit to stabilize the proximal aorta and close any entry tear within the ascending aorta. Our investigation also showed that just eight different stent-graft lengths would sufce to treat these patients, but also that most of these patients would require short, tapered stent­grafts. Also, 7% of patients would require broader transcatheter aortic valve sizes [9].
A one-stage and a two-stage clinical scenario for implanting the endovascular valve-carrying conduit seem feasible. In the one-stage scenario, the conduit could be used to stabilize the ascending aorta in patients without malperfusion but carry­ing a high perioperative risk. Frail patients are potential candidates for this one­stage treatment. In the two-stage scenario, the conduit could be the rst-step treatment to resolve distal malperfusion by re-expanding the true lumen and proxi­mally stabilizing the dissected ascending aorta. Once the patient has stabilized and both shock and malperfusion have resolved, a stable patient could undergo conven­tional surgery in the second step with signicantly better postoperative outcome prospects. This scenario is comparable to the Emory group’s TEVAR rst strategy, but would offer these patients the substantial benet of proximal stabilization [22,
23] (Figs.2 and 3).

Three landing zones can be generated by the device: (1) the aortic valve annulus for stable anchorage of the device, (2) a proximal sealing zone at the level of the sinotubular junction, and (3) a distal sealing zone at the level of the distal ascend­ing aorta before the brachiocephalic trunk’s takeoff. Individualization is the conduit’s fundamental advantage, since the catheter valve size and stent-graft portion can be selected individually to accommodate the patient’s unique anatomy, and the two components can be connected shortly before implantation by a suture. Free coronary and supra-aortic perfusion is thus ensured

Conclusion
Ascending aortic TEVAR currently remains conned to the purview of specialized aortic centers treating carefully-selected patients with favorable anatomy and/or a localized pathology. Physiologic, anatomic, medical, and technical problems limit the routine application of TEVAR in the ascending aorta, particularly in patients suffering from type A aortic dissection. The provision of an endovascular valve­carrying conduit raises the potential number of patients eligible for endovascular treatment considerably, and may help to signicantly reduce the morbidity and mor­tality of patients with type A aortic dissections.

Introduction
Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) is a surgical emergency that is rapidly fatal if left untreated. The international registry of acute aortic dissection (IRAD) reported an improvement in surgical outcome, as mortality decreased from 25 to 18% over 17years since its inception. Furthermore, contemporary series reported a mortality as low as 5% [13].
The mortality of TAAAD is determined by preoperative risk factors, such as malperfusion syndrome, renal impairment, or preoperative rupture [4, 5]. Therefore, an operation that avoids a high-risk reintervention, and that is not associated with an increase in immediate risk is optimal. Aortic root replacement, when required to completely resect the proximal extent of the dissection, is associated with excellent event-free survival and reoperation rates [68]. In fact, several series reported that replacement of the aortic root in patients with TAAAD is not associated with an increase in perioperative morbidity or mortality [5, 9, 10]. Furthermore, there is evidence to show that root replacement decreases the need for reintervention, as shown in a propensity matched cohort where the freedom from reintervention was signicantly higher in the root replacement group 98 vs. 86% at 7 years [11]. Surgical options for aortic root replacement can be performed using a composite valve conduit or a valve sparing technique (VSRR).
In this chapter we will discuss the indications for aortic root replacement in TAAAD, valve sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) in TAAAD, the technical details of VSRR in TAAAD, and the result of valve conserving root surgery.

Indications forAortic Root Replacement inTAAAD
Replacement of the aortic root is indicated in patients with an aortic root diame­ter5.5cm, a diameter of 4.0–5.0cm in patients with concomitant risk factors for rupture or dissection, or a simultaneously indicated valve or ascending aortic sur­gery [12, 13]. While these indications are well established in the elective setting, they are also applied to patients with TAAAD.In patients with aortic dissection the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended root replacement in patients with extensive destruction of the aortic root or root dilatation [ degree of destruction or dilatation is not quantied and is an area of debate over whether root replacement is required in TAAAD.Therefore, the decision to replace the root is often based on an assessment of the risk of extensive repair against the possibility of a complicated redo surgery in the future (Fig.1) [15].
Following supracomissural repair of TAAAD, the aortic root continues to enlarge at a rate 0.50–0.60mm/year [16]. Furthermore, a substantial proportion of patients operated for TAAAD will require a reintervention, the freedom from reintervention is in the range 80–30% at 10years [5, 17]. Conversely, adding a root replacement to an already high-risk operation does increase the risk of the operation as shown in the University of Pennsylvania study, the mortality of aortic root replacement was almost three times higher than supracomissural repair in patients with TAAAD [18,
19]. Therefore, it is important to identify risk factors for reoperation to enable the
surgeon to balance the risk of a complex redo procedure against an aggressive index operation in TAAAD.
Several authors investigated the risk factors for reoperation following TAAAD repair. Young-age has been identied as a risk factor for reoperation by several groups [19, 20]. In a study of young patients, under the age of 50, the reoperation rate following TAAAD was 24%. In the same cohort 44% of patients who had a supracomissural replacement required a root procedure [19, 21, 22]. Kirsch et al. studied 160 patients who underwent repair of TAAAD; the freedom from
12, 14]. However, the

reoperation at 10years was 60%, and they identied severe preoperative AI as a predictor for proximal reoperation, RR 3.6 (95% CI 1.44–9.77) [7]. Certainly, severe AI and root aneurysm are among the commonest indications for reoperation following TAAD repair [23].
Patients with connective tissue disease are at a great risk of requiring a reinter­vention. In the Nordic Consortium for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A (NORCAAD) study, the risk of reoperation was ve times higher in patients with connective tissue disease [24]. A cohort study of over 500 patients, identied Marfan syndrome as a risk factor for reintervention (OR 4.68 95% CI 1.6–13.7) [25]. We believe, among other groups, that limited ascending repair without root replacement will almost certainly result in the need for a root reintervention in this cohort of patients [26]. It must be emphasized that often the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome is made after presentation with TAAAD.Therefore, a high index of suspicion is needed particu­larly in the young [19].
In addition to hemodynamic characteristics of the aortic valve and the patients’ genetic risk prole, certain anatomical features of the dissection ap and the aortic root are associated with a pronounced increase in the risk of a reintervention. The preoperative root diameter, number of commissural detachment, and dissection ap extension into the root are anatomical features that should be recognized and per­suade the surgeon to take an aggressive approach to the aortic root in patients with TAAAD (Fig.2) [27, 28].
The controversy, whether the root should be replaced or not, stems from the fact that high rates of reintervention and the risk factors for reintervention have not been universally identied and agreed upon among investigators. The NORCAAD, for example, reported a reoperation rate of 5% at 8years, most of the reoperations were in the form of a root replacement; however, the mean follow-up was 3.3years, and 25% of patients in the cohort had a root replacement [24]. Mayo clinic series had a freedom from reoperation at 91% and 79% at 10 and 20years respectively. While no predictive factors for reoperation were identied; yet 70% of reoperations were for aortic root dilatation or aortic insufciency [5]. Low reoperation rates have been reported by other groups in smaller studies [8, 18, 19, 29].

The limitations of the evidence available are related to the fact that most studies evaluating long term outcomes of TAAAD patients have a small number of patients, retrospective in nature, single centre, and have a short follow-up. Therefore, a large cohort of TAAAD patients with standardised follow-up is needed to enable the sur­gical community and patients make an informed decision of the choice of surgery in this fatal disease.
At our institution, we perform root replacement if the tear is in the aortic root, the root is dilated >4.5cm in diameter, and in patients with suspected connective tissue disease. The IRAD reported a similar strategy of selective root with no difference in outcome between the supracomissural repair group and the root replacement group. In our experience, the outcome of VSRR in the hemodynamically unstable patients and patients with malperfusion syndrome is unfavourable. However, other groups did not preclude patients from a VSRR approach because of haemodynamic insta­bility [9]. Halstead reported excellent results with a similar aggressive strategy towards the root [8]. We also believe that the surgeon’s experience should be con­sidered before recommending a liberal root replacement strategy in patients with TAAAD [9, 30, 31].

Bentall and De Bono used a Starr valve and a Teon graft in their technique of com­posite valve conduit aortic root replacement with reimplantation of the coronary arteries [32]. The technique was modied by Cabrol, as the two ends of an 8mm Dacron graft were anastomosed to the coronary ostia, the graft is subsequently anas­tomosed sided-to-side to the aortic prosthesis [33]. The early mortality in Cabrol series, a third of which had aortic dissection, was an outstanding 4% [34].
The prosthetic valve component is the main limitation of the Bentall procedure. Mechanical valves offer better durability, particularly in young patients, in compari­son with bioprosthesis. The durability of mechanical prosthesis is offset by the risk of anticoagulation, thromboembolic events and valve thrombosis. Bouhout and associates reported survival, freedom from reoperation, and freedom from signi­cant bleeding of 87%, 82%, and 90% respectively at 10years in young patients. A meta-analysis of the Bentall procedure, 7629 patients included, reported an annual linearized risk of 2% for mortality, 0.77% thromboembolic events, and 2.66% of valve related adverse events [35].
The risk of structural valve degeneration of bioprosthesis is of a considerable importance when a bio-Bentall is contemplated. Reports of freedom from struc­tural valve degeneration of modern bioprosthesis are limited by short follow-up [36]. In a UK-based registry, the results of biological AVR were not encouraging with a freedom from reintervention or death of 47% at 10years [37]. The AVR data is pertinent to aortic root replacement using the Bentall technique, and clearly the long-term results of prosthetic valve replacement are suboptimal. It is logical that avoiding the adverse implications of a prosthetic valve, if possible, may result

in an improved survival and quality of life in patients undergoing aortic root replacement [38, 39].
Sir Magdi Yacoub recognized in a cohort of patients with aortic insufciency and aortic root aneurysm with normal cusps morphology that it was feasible to repair the aortic root, restore the aortic valve hemodynamics, and preserve native valve func­tion. In Yacoub’s remodelling technique, the aortic sinuses are excised, leaving a rim of 3mm, the coronary ostia are isolated with a small aortic rim surrounding them (coronary button), and a tube graft, fashioned into three tongues, is sutured to the residual wall of the aortic root; subsequently, the coronary buttons are attached to the tube graft [40, 41]. The remodelling method proved to deliver durable aortic valve repair in selected patients [42]. A comparison between the results of remodel­ling in patients with type A aortic dissection and those with aneurysm revealed a longer bypass time, longer ICU stay, and a mortality of 19% in line with the average mortality in the IRAD with no difference in the reoperation rate or incidence of AI [43].
Tirone David and Chris Feindel, in 1992, introduced the reimplantation proce­dure, and reported their experience of ten patients with annuloaortic ectasia; four patients had aortic dissection in the series. In the reimplantation technique, the aor­tic valve is implanted within a tube graft that is anchored to the VAJ.In their series, there were no deaths, and one patient required reoperation for aortic insuf­ciency [44].
The advantage of the remodelling is that it preserves the inter-leaet triangles, which may facilitate the dynamic nature of the native aortic root. Indeed, in-vivo studies demonstrated superior hemodynamics with remodelling in comparison with reimplantation [45]. However, a major limitation of the remodelling procedure is that it doesn’t provide external stabilization of the VAJ, which is a potential cause for recurrence of AI and a source for a higher failure rate in patients with TAAAD [4648]. However, the reimplantation requires more extensive dissection of the aor­tic root, takes longer, and potentially technically more demanding [42, 46]. Emanuel Lansac addressed stabilisation of the VAJ by adding an expansible ring in the sub­valvular plane [49, 50]. The early results of remodelling in addition to subvalvular ring implantation demonstrated a reduction in the rate of reoperations and intraop­erative conversion to prosthetic valve replacement [50]. Several modications of the remodelling were developed, but most remain single-centre and reported in a small number of patients. Dr. C Miller group advocate a conservative partial root replace­ment, Uni-Yacoub or Bi-Yacoub repair, in selected patients [51].

Technical Aspects ofValve Sparing Root Replacement inTAAAD
The aim of VSRR is to provide durable repair with a low reintervention rate on the aortic valve. At the authors’ institution, our procedure of choice is the reimplanta­tion technique. Stabilization of the VAJ with a ring in combination with remodelling
