Abstract
In the presence of UAV and aortic root dilatation, the concept of valve bicuspidization and root remodeling can be applied with satisfactory hemodynamic results. The hemodynamic function of an aortic valve preserved by this concept is good. If sufficient stability can be achieved, aortic valve replacement can be avoided in young patients with aortic regurgitation caused by UAV and root aneurysm.
