Core Tip	Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSARR) preserves native valves in patients with bicuspid (BAV) or tricuspid aortic valve (TAV), reducing prosthetic valve complications. Our meta-analysis reveals comparable short-term safety between BAV and TAV patients but a significantly higher long-term reintervention risk in BAV patients. These findings highlight the need for tailored surgical strategies and vigilant long-term monitoring to optimize outcomes in BAV patients undergoing VSARR.
