A clinical case of aortic valve replacement with the Medtronic Freestyle stentless bioprosthesis implanted in the "full-root" technique in a patient with a small aortic root
Abstract
There are various options for surgical treatment of aortic valve disease. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages. Aortic valve replacement is considered to be the "gold standard" for treating degenerative aortic disease. This procedure is indicated to patients has stenosis or aortic insufficiency. This article reports a clinical case of aortic valve replacement with the Medtronic Freestyle stentless bioprosthesis implanted in the “full root” technique in a patient with a small aortic root. The patient underwent aortic valve replacement with good clinical and hemodynamic results. The article discusses the surgical technique, its effectiveness, as well as indications and contraindications.
