Repair of complex subvalvular aortic aneurysm with a valved conduit
JD Galla, MA Ergin, SL Lansman, RC Lowery and RB Griepp
A subaortic annular aneurysm involving three fourths of the annular
circumference was repaired with a valved conduit to which a Teflon felt
flange was attached. This unique prosthetic repair assured a strong stable
repair and uncompromised coronary flow otherwise unobtainable with
previously described repairs.
