Repair of trileaflet aortic valve prolapse: mid-term outcome in patients with normal aortic root morphology

21 patients with moderate-severe (n=5) or severe (n=16) aortic regurgitation due to trileaflet aortic valve prolapse with normal aortic root morphology.

Surgical correction of the prolapsing aortic cusp using free edge plication, triangular resection, or resuspension with polytetrafluoroethylene sutures, frequently associated with a subcommissural annuloplasty.
