Objective  To analyze clinical outcome of the technique of comprehensive aortic root and valve reconstruction (CARVAR) applying in aortic valve and root disease. Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 106 patients with aortic valve and root disease underwent CARVAR technique in our hospital from July 2012 to July 2015. There were 72 males and 34 females at the average age of 57.3 (11-67) years. We operated the CARVAR technique and analyzed the early and midterm clinical outcomes. Results  There was no mortality and low cardiac output syndrome postoperatively. But there were 2 cases of renal insufficiency or failure and 1 case of infective endocarditis. The average ejection fraction was 54%. The mean area of aortic valve orifice was 2.2±0.8 cm2. The aortic valve pressure gradient was 11.2±2.3 mm Hg. There were 2 cases of mild aortic valve regurgitation. The result of operation was satisfying with a stable hemodynamics and few complications. The follow-up after surgery showed that there was no obvious abnormity in aortic valve and root. Conclusion  Using CARVAR technique to cure aortic valve and root disease is an effective treatment and it can achieve satisfactory early and midterm clinical outcomes.
