Key result
A literature review was performed to evaluate neocuspidization of the aortic valve using autopericardium for the treatment of aortic valve disease.
Why the study?
Many aortic valve reconstruction methods using autopericardium have not been standardized and remain underutilized, despite neocuspidization of the aortic valve showing promising long-term results.
Aortic valve neocuspidization using autopericardium is reviewed as a promising method for aortic valve reconstruction.
Ozaki autopericardial neocuspidization shows promise for durable, anticoagulation-free repair; leaves open standardization and prospective validation before wider use.
Aortic valve reconstruction remains the ideal approach to treat aortic valve disease, with an aim to increase durability and prevent anticoagulation. Owing to its availability, handling ease, and low cost, autopericardium has been regularly used since the early days of cardiac surgery. Many of these methods have not been standardized yet and are underutilized. One method with promising long-term results is neocuspidization of the aortic valve, as described by Ozaki using glutaraldehyde-fixed autopericardium. Neocuspidization of the aortic valve includes valve prosthetics with its own pericardium. We performed a literature review on aortic valve neocuspidization. Received 13 October 2020.
