Transthoracic echocardiography for selection of tubular graft size in David reimplantation technique
2015
Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery
Selection of tubular graft size during David reimplantation technique for aortic root dilation is based on perioperative leaflet height measurements. The present study evaluated whether transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)-based algorithms may help in selecting the graft size preoperatively. Methods: Thirty patients (52±11 years old, 73% men) who underwent David reimplantation technique were evaluated. The implanted graft size was based on the David's formula. Leaflet height (diameter = 1.1 •
