1/ Having been trained to do roots with interrupted pledgeted sutures, the semi-continuous technique is something I’ll now consider. This is Prof. de Kerchove implanting a Pulmonary autograft (in a Valsalva graft) with the semi-continuous technique:
Huge thanks to master surgeons Prof. Gebrine El-Khoury & Prof. Laurent de Kerchove who I recently spent time with learning aortic valve repair & the Ross procedure in Brussels. @GebrineK@EACTS#aortaed. Here are a few of the technical tips I learnt 👇:
Thank you @EACTS for making this incredible opportunity possible! Highly recommend young surgeons apply for the chance to learn advanced techniques from European masters. #EACTS#SurgicalEducation
