Mastering Aortic Valve Replacement
Gaudiani V, Tsau P. Mastering Aortic Valve Replacement. March 2025. doi:10.25373/ctsnet.28701224
This video demonstrates the Gaudiani technique for aortic valve replacement in a cadaveric porcine specimen.
The aortotomy was made, and the valve excision and suture placement are shown with advice on using pledgeted sutures and where to place them. A bioprosthesis was placed, and a single layer of 3-0 Prolene was used to close the aorta.
