- Abstract
The neo-commissure has to be established, optimally in front of a well-developed noncoronary-left coronary commissure followed by the reconstruction of leaflets and another commissure. Keywords: aorta and great vessels; valve repair/replacement EN aorta and great vessels valve repair/replacement 3467 3468 2 10/13/22 20221101 NES 221101 Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) has been defined as a variant of a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) but with only one well-developed commissure. Dyplastic leaflet tissue is typically reconstructed with a pericardial patch in the form of leaflet replacement, triangle patches, or butterfly technique.2-4 However, despite the development of tissue preservation technology, extracellular matrix, or acellular matrix, tissue replacement is still the Achilles' heel of repair.
