Background: Lower mini-sternotomy offers the advantage of providing excellent visualization of the 4 cardiac cavities, allowing surgical treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves as well as any intra-cavitary procedure. Technical issues, as well as safety and echocardiographic results of this approach, are lacking. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe outcomes of lower mini-sternotomy to treat valvulopathies and other intracardiac surgeries.

- The study evaluates the long-term outcomes of two types of rings used in valve-sparing root replacement surgery: a calibrated expansible extra-aortic ring and a homemade Dacron ring.
- Among 486 patients, those with the extra-aortic ring showed significantly better long-term survival, lower rates of reoperation, and reduced recurrence of severe aortic insufficiency compared to the Dacron ring.
- The extra-aortic ring also demonstrated superior performance in preventing annular dilation and preserving root expansibility over time.

Objective: Aortic valvuloplasty frequency has significantly increased over the past 15 years. Surgical repair varies in complexity depending on valvular lesions. Our aim is to report results on the whole spectrum of aortic valvuloplasty techniques.

Whereas the attainment of expert opinion has been structured using methods such as the modified-Delphi process, standardized guidelines for extraction of candidate outcomes from literature are lacking. As such, we aimed to describe an approach to obtain a comprehensive list of candidate outcomes for potential inclusion in standard outcome sets.
