We describe a novel technical modification for reoperative aortic valve replacement in destructive recurrent prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis. We encountered complex anatomy in a previously operated aortic root wherein the aortic annulus and the right coronary sinus of Valsalva were destroyed. This precluded secure suture placement. We modified a composite mechanical Valsalva conduit to create a separate sinus of Valsalva left in continuity with the mechanical valve. This approach allowed us to exclude the infected right sinus of Valsalva and the corresponding aortic annulus.
我们描述了一种用于再次手术主动脉瓣置换术治疗破坏性复发性人工主动脉瓣心内膜炎的新型技术改良。我们在先前接受过手术的主动脉根部遇到了复杂的解剖结构,其中主动脉瓣环和瓦尔萨尔瓦右冠状动脉窦遭到破坏。这使得无法安全地放置缝线。我们对复合机械性瓦尔萨尔瓦导管进行了改良,以创建一个与机械瓣膜保持连续的单独的瓦尔萨尔瓦窦。这种方法使我们能够排除受感染的瓦尔萨尔瓦右窦和相应的主动脉瓣环。
