Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 38 patients who underwent aortic valve
reconstruction surgery between January 2018 and June 2020 in a national
reference center in Lima, Peru. The median age was 62 years,
interquartile range 25. The main indication for surgery was aortic valve
stenosis (63.1%), in most cases due to bicuspid valve (19 patients,
50%). Twenty-two (58%) patients had another pathology with surgical
indication associated to AV disease, 8(21%) had dilatation of the
ascending aorta with indication for replacement.
