The Russian Conduit - Combining Bentall and Ozaki Procedures forConcomitant Ascending Aorta Replacement and Aortic ValveNeocuspidization

摘要

In aortic valve disease cases, prosthetic valves have been used for valvereplacement, however, these prostheses have inherent problems, and their qualityin some countries is lower comparing to new-generation models, causing shorterdurability. Aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) has emerged as an option,which can be applied to a wide spectrum of these diseases. Despite the promisingresults, this procedure is not widely spread among cardiac surgeons yet. Wedeveloped a surgical technique combining Bentall and Ozaki procedures to treatpatients with concomitant ascending aorta replacement and AVNeo and we describeit in this paper.
