Inside the Operating Room -
This is the precise moment of an aortic valve replacement. The sutures are anchored around the patient’s aortic annulus and threaded through the sewing ring of the new prosthetic valve before it is lowered down into the aorta. The surgical technique used here is a minimal invasive approach through the right chest avoiding the traditional midline sternotomy. This method potentially allows for a faster recovery, a smaller incision with less pain, and a shorter hospital stay.
