Abstract
Overall, 30 years of experience with the ASO shows good survival and event-free survival rates. Coronary transfer problems during surgery were found to be an important risk factor for late mortality and reoperation. However, coronary anatomy other than 1LCx-2R and an intramural course of the left coronary artery or left anterior descending artery were not risk factors for mortality or reoperation. Neoaortic regurgitation does not seem to form a major problem.
