Abstract
As a technique for BAV repair, internal ring annuloplasty produces major annular remodeling and stabilization. Annular reduction and reshaping to a 50/50% symmetric circular geometry facilitates leaflet repair and enhances cusp coaptation. Geometric ring annuloplasty could have useful applications in BAV repair.
