Abstract
FAJARDO-RODRIGUEZ, Edmundo et al. Early and medium-term results of the Florida Sleeve technique for aortic root ectasia. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2021, vol.91, n.4, pp.465-469. Epub Dec 06, 2021. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.20000448.
Introduction:
Aortic root dilatation is a frequent disease affecting mostly young patients that often requires surgical repair. Surgical techniques in young patients include aortic valve-sparing procedures to avoid prosthetic valve implant.
Objective:
The aim of this paper is to describe the results obtained in three patients with aortic root dilatation using the Florida Sleeve technique.
Methods:
From November 2015 to January 2017, three patients with severe aortic regurgitation due to aortic anuloectasic were intervened applying the Florida Sleeve technique.
Results:
Excellent postoperative results were obtained in the three cases including freedom of aortic regurgitation and any cause re-operation during three years of follow-up.
Conclusion:
The Florida Sleeve technique is a safe, reproducible technique with a learning curve and lower surgical times than traditional techniques. The medium-term clinical outcomes in terms of morbidity and mortality are good.
