Abstract
A training kit is provided for practicing aortic valve reconstruction. The aortic valve reconstruction training kit is provided with a blood vessel model and multiple valve leaflet models, and the blood vessel model has a base-capped or base-uncapped cylindrical form having an opening formed on at least the top part thereof. The blood vessel model also has a valve ring part which is formed in the middle of the cylinder and to which the valve leaflet models can be sutured. By using the training kit, it becomes possible to practice a suturing technique that is believed to be the most difficult in aortic valve reconstruction, namely, a technique of accurately suturing a new valve leaflet to a valve ring part, to which an abnormal valve leaflet has been attached, of a cylindrical aorta while viewing the inside of the aorta from above.
