Results of Pericardial Patches in Tricuspid and Bicuspid Aortic Cusp Repair

ConclusionsThe results of aortic cusp repair using pericardium depend on valve morphology and cusp pathology. Mid and long-term durability is reasonable in TAV repair. In BAV repair, valve stability is poor regardless of cusp pathology and repair technique. For any analysis of patch durability, details of pathology and technique have to be considered.
