KALANGOS BIORING ANNULOPLASTY RING

Background and Aim: Although conventional rings currently available on the market respond to the needs of the adult population, no annuloplasty ring has thus far been developed for surgical use in children. Lack of available pediatric sizes below 26 in traditional rings is due to the fact that the current rings do not allow for growth of the native annulus and can therefore induce a stenotic effect in a growing child, which could worsen with time. The biodegradable ring (Kalangos® ring) is a curved semi-flexible, memory shaped « C » segment comprised of a poly-1,4-dioxanone polymer and it may allow the preservation of growth potential in children via degradation induced fibrous tissue reaction in the valve annulus (Figure 1).

The annuloplasty ring degradation appeared to be progressive over time and completed by fibrous tissue replacement at 6 months. The fibrous tissue was found only at the annulus level without any sign of invasion into the anterior and posterior leaflet tissue, or restriction of the valve area. Thus, the concept of annulus remodeling using a biodegradable ring which preserves growth potential of the native annulus, thus may open new perspectives for valve repair procedures in children.
