Suture Annuloplasty Significantly Improves the Durability of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Repair

Background Isolated repair of the regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) has yielded suboptimal durability, with annular dilatation being important risk factor for recurrent aortic regurgitation. We hypothesized that adding a suture annuloplasty (SA) should lead to improved repair stability. Method...
