Redo After Failure of Aortic Homografts With a Rapid Deployment Valve

Tommaso Hinna Danesi et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

Homograft implantation in the aortic position was a common approach for full root aortic surgical procedures in the early 2000s. Reintervention after degeneration of such homografts remains a challenge. We report two cases of successful implantation of the Edwards Intuity Elite rapid deployment valve into patients with degeneration of existing aortic homograft implants leading to severe aortic regurgitation.
