Are dissected aortic sinuses repaired with gelatin-resorcin-formaldehyde ( GRF ) glue stable on follow up?
The use of GRF glue to repair acute dissected aortic sinuses combined with the resuspension of the aortic valve is associated with an unacceptable incidence of failure of aortic valve repair and recurrence of aortic regurgitation. It may be more appropriate to resect all acute dissected aortic sinus tissue.
The survey results are more reliable for policy making. However, HIMS could also generate reliable, periodic, low cost information on glaucoma that could help in estimating the prevalence, and monitoring the program approach to control glaucoma.
