Small aortic annuli are a challenge and a proper valve size is needed to avoid important prosthesis-patient mismatch, especially in case of multiple valves surgery.
We proposed a technique involving the use of Hegar dilators in the aortic position while replacing the mitral valve, in order to maintain the proper aortic diameter. We used this method on two patients and we found it easy and reproducible.
We report neither operative nor postoperative complications.
小主动脉瓣环是一个挑战,需要合适的瓣膜尺寸以避免严重的人工瓣膜-患者不匹配,尤其是在多瓣膜手术的情况下。
我们提出了一种在置换二尖瓣时在主动脉位置使用黑加扩张器的技术,以维持合适的主动脉直径。我们在两名患者身上使用了这种方法,发现它简单且可重复。
我们未报告手术及术后并发症。
