  • Title: Multiple-valve Repair Facilitated by Aortic Ring Annuloplasty.
    Author: Gerdisch MW, Downey RS, Stavridis GT, Wei LM, Badhwar V, Rankin JS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2022 Mar; 113(3):e183-e185. PubMed ID: 34102172.
    Abstract:
    Early and late outcomes of patients undergoing multiple-valve procedures are better if all valves are repaired. Aortic/mitral multiple-valve repair has been limited by an inability to repair the more complex forms of aortic valve insufficiency. With the development of aortic ring annuloplasty 90% to 95% of aortic valve insufficiency pathologies now can be repaired, which opens most aortic/mitral multiple-valve procedures to the better repair outcomes. This report illustrates 4 cases of aortic/mitral ± tricuspid valve disease managed by multiple-valve repair.
