Surgical technique report demonstrates external fixation of internal aortic annuloplasty rings in bicuspid aortic valve repair, suggesting reduced procedural complications.
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.
