Aortic root replacement with MCVGs and decellularized aortic homografts showed low mortality in an elective setting. Patients in the homograft cohort demonstrated significantly higher freedom from valve-related adverse events. DAH present a promising treatment option for young patients requiring root replacement; however, data on long-term durability are needed.
