Summary
This study introduces a novel surgical technique combining the Bentall and Ozaki procedures for aortic root disease. This innovative approach avoids anticoagulation by using pericardium for aortic valve neocuspidization, offering a patient-friendly alternative.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Biomaterials in Medicine
- Aortic Valve Repair
Background:
- The Bentall procedure is a standard treatment for aortic root disease but necessitates prosthetic valves and anticoagulation.
- Anticoagulation poses bleeding risks, creating a need for alternative surgical strategies.
- The Ozaki procedure offers a non-anticoagulation alternative using pericardial neocuspidization.
