Geometric ring aortic valve repair in tetralogy of Fallot: First reported case

Figures

• 

  Aortic root dilatation and valve regurgitation late after TOF repair.

  Figure 1. Preoperative AR shown by magnetic resonance imaging (A) and transesophageal echocardiography (B), and magnetic resonance depicting pulmonary homograft stenosis (C) and regurgitation (D).

  Figure 2. Systolic (A) and protodiastolic (B) short-axis appearance of the aortic valve after repair at 12-month transesophageal echocardiography. The shaved free margin of the noncoronary cusp (upper left) and central plication of the left coronary cusp (upper right) are evident. Transthoracic echocardiography confirms unobstructed valve opening with stable low postoperative gradients (C).
