First uses of HAART 300 rings for aortic valve repair in Poland – 4 case studies

Abstract

IntroductionAortic valve reconstructions using geometric annuloplasty rings HAART 300/200 open new era in aortic valve surgery. The HAART technology resizes, reshapes, stabilizes and simplifies aortic valve repair. The HAART aortic repair rings are designed to be implanted directly into aortic annulus (under aortic valve leaflets).AimWe present first in Poland 4 cases of aortic valve reconstructions using geometric annuloplasty rings HAART 300.Material and methodsTwo patients had type IA aortic insufficiency (due to El-Khoury classification) – they were treated by HAART 300 ring insertion and ascending aorta prosthesis implantation. Third patient, Marfan with type IB aortic insufficiency was repaired by HAART 300 ring implantation followed by remodeling (Yacoub) procedure. Fourth patient with type II aortic insufficiency (due to RCC prolapse) was repaired by HAART 300 implantation and cusp plication.ResultsAll patients shows good results on 6 months postoperative 3D TTE examinations.ConclusionsPresented technique is reproducible and simplify aortic valve reconstructions.

Valve sparing root replacement — Are we limited in our options?

“…2021;36:188-190. wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/jocs 188 | © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC stabilization modifications to the remodeling technique include the David III procedure which adds an external partial annuloplasty (PTFE strip at the base of the noncoronary sinus from trigone to trigone), 7 an external annuloplasty suture, 10 an external annuloplasty ring, 11 and an internal annuloplasty ring. 12 Another interesting recent modification that has demonstrated good medium-term patient outcomes in patients with a bicuspid valve and moderate aortic dilatation (40-45 mm) is the hemi-remodeling technique. 13 This method involves the replacement of the noncoronary sinus, ascending aorta, and valve repair with external ring annuloplasty.…”
