Surgical Treatment : Freestyle Aortic Root Replacement |
| |
Another approach for aortic root aneurysms is implantation of a Freestyle aortic root, which is a preserved ascending aorta with the aortic valve that have been harvested from a pig. The patient’s own aortic valve and ascending aorta are excised, and the Freestyle graft is sewn into place, similar to a Bentall operation. The patient’s own coronary arteries are re-attached to the Freestyle graft. |
