Comparison of aortic annulus dimensions after aortic valve neocuspidization with those of normal aortic valve using transthoracic echocardiography

Abstract

The movement of the aortic annulus after AVNeo is comparable with that of the aortic annulus of a normal aortic valve. Thus, AVNeo can be regarded as a more physiological operation in that it maintains the characteristics of the aortic valve similar to those of a normal aortic valve.
