Single-leaflet aortic valve reconstruction utilizing the Ozaki technique in patients with congenital aortic valve disease

Evaluate outcomes of single leaflet aortic valve reconstruction using Ozaki sizer and template. Single institute retrospective analysis between August 2015 and August 2019. Thirty-three patients, median age 9.3 years and weight 29.2 kg underwent single leaflet Ozaki repair. Preoperative indications were: AR (n=17), AS (n=3) or AS/AR (n=13). Baseline anatomy was unicuspid (n=15), bicuspid (n=9) or tricuspid (n=9). Two patients had endocarditis. Prior interventions included balloon valvuloplasty (n=22) and aortic valve repair (n=9).
