Abstract
Aortic root replacement is indicated for aortic root aneurysm, small aortic root, and most root abscesses. This report describes the placement of a radiopaque marker during aortic root replacement using a Freestyle porcine bioprosthesis. This marker is a useful landmark during fluoroscopy for transcatheter valve-in-valve aortic valve replacement in the event of bioprosthesis degeneration.
