Aortic Valve Repair provides a comprehensive summary on techniques developed during the first 500 cases of aortic ring annuloplasty. Aortic valve disease is usually surgically managed by aortic valve replacement, and it is well established in published literature regarding the long-term results, survival rate, durability of the protheses and reoperations rates. Over the past two decades, aortic valve repair (AVr) has evolved into a recognized surgical option for selected patients with aortic insufficiency or proximal aorta aneurysm. Studying the first 500 cases of aortic ring annuloplasty, the authors provide the most effective methods of leaflet and aortic root reconstruction to repair pathologies.
Including original illustrations and videos, the book serves as an essential reference for cardiac surgeons in practice.

J. Scott Rankin, MD, Professor, Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery, West Virginia University, WVU Heart & Vascular Institute. Prof. Rankin has present (either personally or by video proctoring) in up to 70% of the first 500 aortic valve repairs performed with the new HAART aortic annuloplasty ring, as he developed techniques to repair virtually all insufficient aortic valves. He has been in academic cardiac surgery for 50 years and have authored over 400 scientific publications.
