Stented xenograft valve insertion

E Proctor, T Jones

    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A novel holder and technique allow temporary conversion of stented xenograft valves to a Starr-Edwards configuration. This method prevents sutures from catching valve struts during insertion, improving valve implantation.

    Background:

    • Stented xenograft valves are commonly used in cardiac surgery.
    • Conversion to a Starr-Edwards configuration may be necessary in certain clinical scenarios.
    • Current methods for valve conversion can be complex and carry risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple holder and technique for temporary conversion of stented xenograft valves.
    • To demonstrate a method that avoids suture entanglement with valve struts during implantation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized holder for valve manipulation.
    • A technique for temporarily converting a stented xenograft valve.
    • Surgical implantation procedure focusing on suture placement relative to valve struts.
