Objective:
To evaluate the average long-term results of correction of aortic valve defects in elderly and senile patients after prosthetics of aortic valve flaps using the S. Ozaki technique.

Relevance:
Classical aortic valve replacement with both mechanical and biological prostheses is often fraught with negative consequences, especially in elderly and senile patients. When replacing the aortic valve with a mechanical valve prosthesis, the patient is permanently associated with the need to take indirect anticoagulants, which often leads to thrombo-hemorrhagic consequences, especially in elderly and senile patients, and replacing the aortic valve with a biological prosthesis is often complicated by early calcification and, consequently, a high incidence of dysfunction of the biological prosthesis.
