Impact of positional relationship of commissures on cusp function after valve-sparing root replacement for regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve

Abstract

In terms of freedom from aortic regurgitation and valve function, similar outcomes were achieved in both despite different repair techniques used for fixation of commissures during valve-sparing aortic root replacement in BAV. However, attention should be paid to patients with 180° commissural reposition because of a trend towards higher TVPG.
