Aortic valve annuloplasty with the HAART geometric ring and ascending aorta replacement
1Wroclav Medical University, Wroclaw, Poland.
Abstract:
Approximately one-third of patients suffering from aortic insufficiency (AI) present also with an ascending aortic aneurysm. AI is most commonly due to a combination of sinotubular junction and annular dilatation. Valve reimplantation or prosthetic valve replacement may not be ideal for these patients, and ascending aortic aneurysm resection with aortic valve repair using geometric internal ring annuloplasty is a simple, successful, and reproducible alternative treatment approach. In this video tutorial we demonstrate aortic valve repair using the HAART 300 annuloplasty ring with concomitant ascending aorta replacement.
