Bicuspid aortic valve repair with hemi ‐remodeling technique and external ring annuloplasty

ConclusionThe standardized modified hemi ‐remodeling technique we present is a safe and reproducible procedure, with satisfactory durability at follow‐up. This technique represents an interesting alternative to full valve sparing root replacement, as it avoids the operative risk of coronary reimplantation, allows shorter cross‐clampi ng time and a better exposition on the valve for a symmetrical repair, placing the commissure at 180°, compared with valve sparing root replacement.
