Overview

Supports feasibility in select patients; leaves open durability, generalizability, and need for prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Population

24 patients undergoing aortic valve repair, mean age 35.6 years, 13 males and 8 females (among 21 successful cases). Etiologies included rheumatic disease (17), endocarditis (2), congenital (1), and degenerative (1) conditions.

Intervention

Aortic valve repair (including subcommissural annuloplasty, commissurotomy, cusp thinning, free-edge unrolling, and cusp extension using autologous pericardium) often with concomitant procedures.

Outcome

Procedural success, hospital mortality, valve-related complications, thromboembolic events, and echocardiographic improvement (valve area, pressure gradient, regurgitation severity).

Early results suggest that aortic valve repair is a safe and effective alternative treatment with encouraging clinical and echocardiographic outcomes.
