Pt= patient; MFS= the Marfan syndrome; TAV= tricuspid aortic valve; BAV= bicuspid aortic valve; FM= cusp free margin; AR= aortic regurgitation; reop= reoperation; TD-I = T. David-I V-SARR; TD-V_S-Mod = T.David-V-Stanford modification V-SARR.

This patient underwent aortic valve replacement after the end of the study closing interval 53 months after valve-sparing aortic root replacement and mitral repair.
