Abstract/OtherAbstract:
With the increasing use of homografts and pulmonary autografts for aortic valve grafting it is imperative that correct orientation of the tissue valve is maintained during the insertion procedure. To aid in this we have developed an easy-to-construct and use holder for valve conduits. The holder is made from materials easily available in any theater. We have used this holder in more than 50 patients and find it an essential aid to maintain orientation.
