Abstract

Introdution: We would like to express the important of MSCT and echocardiography in Ozaki procedure. 1 Objective: To declare the application of MSCT and echocardiography in aortic valve reconstruction surgery following Ozaki technique. Materials and Methods: Describe our protocol which using MSCT and echocardiography in preoperation prepare, intraoperation assessment and postoperation patient follow up. Results: From 7/2017 to 5/2019, we performed 30 Ozaki cases. There were 3 cases needed to be convertedto aortic valve replacement. All of them were predicted preoperation with MSCT and echocardiography. Conclusion: MSCT and echocardiography help to provide usefull information about aortic valve morphology, evaluate surgery indication, predict of operative result, intraoperative assessment and post operative follow up.
