摘要
A PTFE patch sewn to the aortic valve and annulus, to occlude the ventriculoaortic junction is used to successfully correct aortic insufficiency with HeartMate(R) (LVAS) insertion. This represents an inexpensive alternative to aortic valve replacement for aortic insufficiency or the presence of a mechanical aortic valve. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
