Abstract

In aortic valve repair, whilst performing a Yacoub remodelling operation, the external annuloplasty of the aortic ring plays a very important role. Here we present an adjustable external Dacron annuloplasty as an additional tool, in very selected cases, that can help surgeons to further improve their immediate results thus influencing the long-term ones.

Keywords: Aortic annuloplasty; Aortic repair; Remodelling.
