Key result
Subvalvular circular annuloplasty and adjustable cusp suspension successfully terminated severe regurgitation in a 17-year-old boy with a bicuspid aortic valve with two raphae.
Why the study?
Do subvalvular circular annuloplasty and adjustable cusp suspension procedures successfully terminate severe regurgitation in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve with two raphae?
Do subvalvular circular annuloplasty and adjustable cusp suspension procedures successfully terminate severe regurgitation in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve with two raphae?
Subvalvular circular annuloplasty and adjustable cusp suspension can successfully treat severe regurgitation in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve with two raphae.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Single-case success supports feasibility in rare bicuspid aortic valve anatomy; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before wider use.
We describe the case of a 17-year-old boy with bicuspid aortic valve with two raphae, for whom subvalvular circular annuloplasty and adjustable cusp suspension procedures successfully terminated severe regurgitation.
