Aortic valve replacement with preserved aortic valve homografts
A total of 229 patients underwent aortic valve replacement with a preserved aortic valve homograft during a 7½ year period. The operative mortality rate was 4.8 per cent. Statistical analysis of follow-up data indicated that, for patients who survived the first 30 days after surgery, the 4 year survival rate was 94 per cent and the 7 year survival was ...

Attempts to correct aortic insufficiency by means of aortic valve repair started soon after the advent of open-chest cardiac surgery. Correction of cusp prolapse was performed by suturing the free margins of 2 cusps from the commissures to the central portion or by excising the noncoronary aortic cusp and sinus, transforming a tricuspid into a bicuspid
