AW: [HSF] tricuspid noncoaptation-Cosgrove and the pericardial annuloplasties.

[Nasser F. Abou'Seada]

Dear Roberto
C. Duran also did have his ring after doing a lot with reconstruction with
tanned pericardium .... both Mitral and Aortic ... " ?? Bravo Ring"
..    "Does someone know the late follow p of these cases?" ...

I do share your thinking about pericardial ring .... anyone having
experience with calcification of such pericardial ring ?? ... like in
posterior mitral pericardial annuloplasty ?? ....

Perhaps Prasanna's idea can provide a low cost alternative ! .. Gortex Strip
I mean .... Prasanna ... any data ??
