Abstract | Background: The unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is a well-described pediatric congenital abnormality, with incidence of 0.02% in the general population. Bicuspidization has been described as a potential surgical option to repair this defect. Methods: Seventeen symptomatic young patients with a unicuspid valve combined with either valve insufficiency or valve stenosis underwent aortic valve (AV) bicuspidization procedure by using an equine pericardium. In addition to bicuspidization, 8 patients underwent aortic ring implantation and 5 patients underwent supracoronary replacement of the aorta. Results: Our results show safety of the bicuspidization procedure. No deaths occurred during our average follow-up period of 26 months. Freedom from reoperation for any valve-related reason was 100% during this follow-up period. We observed a statistically significant increase in the AV area from 0.8 ± 0.1 cm Conclusions: From our study, bicuspidization is an attractive surgical option to repair UAV, particularly in young patients who do not want to be subjected to long-term anticoagulation therapy or who refuse a more traditional surgical approach, such as Ross procedure, for reasons described previously. |
