Cardiac Innovation: Y-Incision Annular Enlargement Procedure with Dr. Bo Yang

https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - New research suggests the actual openings of heart valve replacement devices are significantly smaller than product labels. This can result in a 40%-60% reduction in the annular area of heart valve replacements after implant. Unfortunately, small heart valve sizes (or prosthesis mismatch) can cause issues for patients including poor hemodynamics, accelerated stenosis and reoperations.

For this reason, Dr. Bo Yang, a leading cardiac surgeon at the University of Michigan Health in Ann Arbor, Michigan, developed a new surgical technique known as the “Y-Incision Annular Enlargement Procedure".

In this video, Dr. Yang answers important questions about this innovative technique:

1. What is the Y-Incision Annular Enlargement Procedure? How is the technique performed?

2. Which patients can benefit from the Y-Incision Annular Enlargement Procedure? Can it help patients with aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation and bicuspid aortic valves?

3. What are the different heart valve replacement sizes?

4. What can happen if a patient receives a heart valve size that is too small?

5. What are the patient benefits for "upsizing" heart valve replacement devices by 3 to 5 sizes and enlarging the aortic root?

6. How is the Y-Incision Annular Enlargement Procedure helping patients plan for the lifetime management of heart valve disease specific to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) valve-in-valve procedures?
