Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Aortic valve replacement
German term or phrase: Teflon armierte Klappen U-Nähte
It's an operative report of an aortic valve replacement with Perimount bovine pericardium through upper partial L sternotomy:

Inspektion des Situs. Es zeigt sich eine schwer insuffiziente Aortenklappe. Dies bedingt durch ein Durchhängen des akoronaren Segels bei maximalem Gewebeüberschuss, auch das linkskoronare Segel ist in den LVOT zurückgewichen. Aus Gründen der Radikalität und des Patientenwunsches Entfernung aller Segel nun Vorlegen eines Klappentuchs und Einnaht eines 25 mm biologischen Ventils vom Typ Edwards Perimount nach Vorlegen von 12 Teflon armierten Klappen U-Nähten durch den Annulus.

I need help with the last sentence. If I understand it correctly, all the cusps are removed, the Klappentuch (?) is placed, the valve is sutured in. But what is meant with "Vorlegen von 12 Teflon armierten Klappen U-Nähten durch den Annulus". Is "Klappen U-Nähten" one subject? And the sutures are reinforced with Teflon? Would that be with Teflon felt? "Nach Vorlegen von": Does that mean that the "12 Teflon armierte Klappen U-Nähte" are placed through the annulus and after those sutures have been placed, the valve is sutured in?

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Patricia, you can probably find a few more good refs (with pics) if you search with the keywords teflon pledget buttress aortic valve etc. I'm sure I've already researched this in the past and found some good stuff on the net :-)
