title: Two useful procedures in aortic valvular replacement: the peeling off of the aortic valve and the sub-annular insertion of a valvular prosthesis.
abstract: Two useful procedures in aortic valvular surgery are described. One is an easy way to excise heavily calcified aortic leaflets. The other is the subannular placement of an aortic valve substitute which permits the use of a larger prosthesis.
