Figure legends
Figure 1 . Aortic annulus remodeling by SCAP with a mattress
suture 2-0 (green line) A . Reduction of the height of the
sub-commissural triangle B . circularization of an elliptic
annulus. SCAP, sub-commissural annuloplasty.
Figure 2. Proportion of the number of required SCAP according
to the valve type. SCAP, sub-commissural annuloplasty.
Figure 3. Patient flow chart. Among the 14 primary implantation
failures, SCAP allowed for redeployment of the same Perceval-S valve in
4 patients (bold boxes). Same, re-deployment of the same valve; SCAP,
sub-commissural annuloplasty.
Figure 4. Perceval-S valve hemodynamics by transthoracic
echocardiography before discharge (post-operative day-5). EOA, effective
orifice area; SCAP, sub-comissural annuloplasty; SCAP, no SCAP.
