[Repeated failure of the suture line of an aortic valve prosthesis. Treatment by implantation of a valvular tube in the supra-coronary position].
We present our 7 years' experience in the treatment of repeated stitch failure of the suture line on aortic valve replacements. We used a valved tube placed in the supra-coronary position. This technique prevented further stitch failure and also prevented postop infections. Of eight patients operated on, five had survived.
