title: Sutureless Aortic Valve Replacement in the Setting of Triple-Valve Surgery.
abstract: Sutureless aortic valve replacement is an emerging alternative to standard aortic valve replacement in high-risk surgical patients. We present our surgical technique for sutureless aortic valve replacement in patients undergoing triple-valve surgery. This procedure has been performed in six patients with excellent clinical and echocardiographic results. Despite some technical concerns, sutureless aortic valve replacement in the setting of triple-valve surgery is simple and reproducible.
