title: Technique for implant of the stentless aortic valve Freedom Solo.
abstract: In this presentation we provide a summary of aortic valve replacement with a supra-annular stentless aortic valve, the Freedom Solo prosthesis. Stentless valves were designed to provide more physiological flow and lower transvalvular gradient, which is offered by the novel design of the valve and by its implantation technique. The supra-annular stentless aortic valve implantation is demonstrated with a special emphasis on its surgical technique peculiarities.
