Abstract

Aortic valve repair represents a valuable option for the treatment of patients with aortic valve regurgitation, in order to provide optimal freedom from valve-related events during follow-up. Several techniques to achieve a sustained repair have been proposed, and annular stabilisation has been evoked as a key factor to guarantee long-term durability. Recently, a novel rigid ring has been introduced into surgical practice. Here we present the initial experience in Switzerland with this promising approach.
