Abstract
Transcatheter valve implantation has become an alternative to open-heart conventional surgery in high-risk patients. We describe a new surgical technique that allows the implantation of a transcatheter valvular prosthesis through an open surgical approach to prevent the appearance of paravalvular leaks in patients with large native rings.
