The TATEGIRI technique: adaptation of a longitudinal aortotomy for totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement
TATEGIRI longitudinal aortotomy provides consistent three-quarters (~ 270°) annular exposure while preserving a straight, fully visible suture line. Early results demonstrated technical feasibility and favorable short-term outcomes, supporting wider adoption and evaluation in comparative studies.
