Is sutureless aortic valve implantation feasible in a patient with a porcelain ascending aorta using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest without aortic cross-clamp?
Sutureless aortic valve implantation under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest without cross-clamping is a feasible option for patients with a porcelain aorta.
Severe atherosclerotic calcification of the ascending aorta, the so-called porcelain aorta, precludes cardiac surgeons from placing an aortic cross-clamp and direct aortic cannulation due to the increased risk of systemic embolism and stroke. In the present report, we support the option of sutureless valve implantation in a case of a porcelain ascending aorta, with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and also without aortic cross-clamp.

Baikoussis et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Porcelain ascending aorta (n=1). Sutureless aortic valve implantation with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and without aortic cross-clamp was evaluated. Sutureless aortic valve implantation with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and without aortic cross-clamp is a feasible option in a patient with a porcelain ascending aorta.
