Why the study?
Internal ring annuloplasty was developed to ensure reproducibility for repairing all bicuspid aortic valve morphologies by correcting annular dilation and remodeling each valve to a standardized 180° 2-leaflet geometry.
Internal ring annuloplasty provides a standardized approach to repairing intermediate-type bicuspid aortic valves, aiming to minimize short- and long-term patient risk.

May support standardized repair in intermediate bicuspid aortic valves; leaves open need for prospective validation.
With the goal of ensuring reproducibility for repairing all bicuspid morphologies, internal ring annuloplasty was developed both to correct annular dilation and to remodel each bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) to a standardized 180° 2-leaflet geometry—allowing surgeons to repair virtually all types of BAV defects.1,2 Implicit in aortic valve repair is the opportunity to minimize short- and long-term patient risk,3-5 which is especially appealing in BAV insufficiency, given the generally younger age of those affected.
