[HSF] Geoform: A Flawed Concept?

[Hgrmd at aol.com]

Mark,
  Glad you finally weighed in on the Geoform thread.  Closing the  
interscallop leaks is the difference between mild and zero MR, which, in the  long run, 
I think is vital to maintaining a durable repair for annular  dilatation.
  I caught a bit of hell when I posted that case.  However, I've  since heard 
from a number of surgeons across the country about the early failure  of that 
ring.  As Ani pointed out, the ring has no published track record,  and none 
of the valve mavens, other than its inventor, support its use.
 
Hal
