A modern approach to aortic valve insufficiency: Aortic root restoration via HAART 300 internal annuloplasty ring
Abstract Background and aim of the study: HAART 300 is an internal geometric annuloplasty ring. The safety and efficacy of this novel device in aortic valve (AV) repair in a single referral center are reported. Methods: Twenty patients with trileaflet AV insufficiency with ascending aorta and/or aortic root enlargement were included. Subannular implantation was performed to correct annular ...

Leaflet Dimensions as a Guide to Remodeling Annuloplasty During Aortic Valve Repair
Abstract Objective: In chronic aortic insufficiency (AI), the method and degree of annular downsizing required to achieve durable coaptation in aortic valve repair (AVr) remains poorly defined. This study evaluated the relationship between leaflet size and annular diameter to predict adequate annular sizing in remodeling AVr. Methods: Under regulatory supervision, 74 patients with chronic ...
