For most surgeons, aortic annulus enlargement is considered too expensive to justify implanting a prosthesis that is only one size larger, and as a result, it is rarely used. This video demonstrates the surgical enlargement of the aortic annulus using a balloon catheter, which is a simple and innovative technique that combines the knowledge and experience of both TAVR and SAVR. This method allows for the implantation of a larger prosthesis without increasing surgical time or the risk of bleeding.
