    We developed a new technique, a "Y" incision and rectangular patch to enlarge the aortic annulus by 2-3 valve size without cutting into the MV, RVOT, or LA. it is very effective and safe. Paper published in JTCVS Tech. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… CentralFigure.tif

    Explanted 23 sapient, enlarged the annulus from 19 to 25. The opening of old TAVR valve was < 1/3 of the new SAVR valve. coronary Ostia were above the SAVR valve. Aortic annular enlargement should be routine in SAVR like LIMA in CABG, especially in redo SAVR after SAVR or TAVR.

    Another type A dissection in the books with @BoYangMD “Michigan Style” - no felt, no bioglue, no pledgets (and no transfusions 🩸) Great mentor with superb technique @UMichCTSurgery @UMichSurgery @GAilawadiMD

    In MV or AV repair, we don’t accept mild MR or AI. But why do we tolerated mild even mod AS after AVR for AS Pts. As a specialty, We should consider root enlargement as a standard care for AS Pts with normal annulus due to the sewing ring and struts of prosthetic valve!

    Share our experience of Mosaic valve too. 4-year old, 21 mm Mosaic, pristine, but too small, mean gradient was 46 mmHg, inner diameter was 14 mm. "Y" incision/rectangular patch, replaced with a 27 Magna, mean G: 3 mmHg, peak G: 6. Any stented valve <25 should not be implanted.

    We have done 140+ consecutive now, including two cases of endocarditis. The results remained the same. Hemodynamics and LVH further improved in the second year. Median AVA went up to 2.4 cm2, and mean gradient remained 6-7 mmHg, better than TAVR (presented at STS 2023)

    Very kind of the reviewers of CTSNet. We hope every surgeon can use technique to give Pts much bigger valve they deserve!!!!
