Full-root aortic valve replacement using Medtronic Freestyle bioroots for infective endocarditis
The Medtronic Freestyle bioroot could be a valid alternative to homografts for the treatment of infective endocarditis, particularly in cases necessitating aortic root reconstruction after extensive debridement of annular abscesses, with comparable outcomes and potential advantages in terms of durability and availability.
