External fixation of an internal aortic annuloplasty device: advancing the technique

Evaldas Girdauskas et al. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. .

Abstract

We present a modified technique of Hemispherical Aortic Annuloplasty Reconstructive Technology (HAART) 200 annuloplasty ring implantation in bicuspid aortic valve morphology by external fixation of the looping sutures to avoid common complications associated with the original implantation technique. Preliminary results are promising and should be confirmed in subsequent multicentre studies.

Keywords: Aortic valve repair; Hemispherical Aortic Annuloplasty Reconstructive Technology device; Internal annuloplasty.
