Aortic Valve Repair and Early-Career Surgeons—Nothing Is Impossible [PDF]
Aortic valve repair with either the reimplantation of the aortic valve or aortic root remodelling with the external annuloplasty procedure is the most effective means of treating aortic regurgitation and/or aortic root aneurysms [...]

Bicuspid aortic valve repair—current techniques, outcomes, challenges, and future perspectives [PDF]
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart condition that can lead to some valve-related complications, such as aortic stenosis and/or regurgitation, and is often associated with aortic root dilation.

Use of aortic wall patches as leaflet replacement material during aortic valve repairCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objectives: Aortic valve repair can be limited by inadequate leaflet tissue for proper coaptation. Various kinds of pericardium have been used for cusp augmentation, but most have failed because of tissue degeneration.

Complex aortic valve repair in congenital patients: clinical feedback [PDF]
IntroductionIn the congenital population, particularly in young adults, the best strategy for aortic valve surgery has not been clearly established. This study investigates the mortality, perioperative morbidity and echocardiographic evolution of complex

Aortic valve repair: An exciting journey
Aortic valve repair has become an attractive alternative to aortic valve replacement in most of the patients with aortic insufficiency. To improve reproducibility and durability “geometric anatomy” of the valve has been developed to guide the repair ...
