AVNeo - a pioneering new medical procedure for the surgical reconstruction of the aortic heart valve

Information

According to the latest data available the 10-year survival rate was 85.9% for AVNeo compared to less than 80% for alternative procedures. Using the patient’s own pericardial tissue, this new technique provides an exciting advance in open heart surgery for all age groups, with studies showing that some patients are now able to stop taking medications just six months after their procedure. In 2021, Abdul Latif Jameel Health in collaboration with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health, launched a pioneering new medical procedure for the surgical reconstruction of the aortic heart valve, making Saudi Arabia the first country in the Gulf region to use this innovative AVNeo technique.
