Abstract:
The Freestyle aortic xenograft has been shown to be safe and effective for aortic valve replacement. However,implantation is often complicated by aortic valve insufficiency, which could lead to premature valve failure. We describe an implantation technique that can potentially prevent aortic insufficiency.
