[Resultados a corto y medio plazo de la técnica de Florida].

INTRODUCTION

Aortic root dilatation is a frequent disease affecting mostly young patients that often requires surgical repair. Surgical techniques in young patients include aortic valve-sparing procedures to avoid prosthetic valve implant.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this paper is to describe the results obtained in three patients with aortic root dilatation using the Florida Sleeve technique.

METHODS

From November 2015 to January 2017, three patients with severe aortic regurgitation due to aortic anuloectasic were intervened applying the Florida Sleeve technique.

RESULTS

Excellent postoperative results were obtained in the three cases including freedom of aortic regurgitation and any cause re-operation during three years of follow-up.

CONCLUSION

The Florida Sleeve technique is a safe, reproducible technique with a learning curve and lower surgical times than traditional techniques. The medium-term clinical outcomes in terms of morbidity and mortality are good.
