Abstract:
We have experienced 3 successful repair surgeries for insufficient bicuspid aortic valve. The operative procedure consisted of combinations of suture placation, raphe triangular resection, commisural annuloplasty, and patch closure of perforation due to infectious endocarditis. The postoperative course was uneventful and postoperative echocardiography showed residual regurgitation as only trivial or mild. Retrospective study done on 19 previous cases with insufficient bicuspid aortic valve demonstrated that this operative procedure could have been applied in 15 (79%) of the cases. These results showed that repair surgery for insufficient bicuspid aortic valve is useful and has a wide application.
