Aortic root remodeling for root aneurysm with a uni-commissural aortic valve: report of a case.

A 23-year-old man was admitted for an aortic root aneurysm with mild aortic valve regurgitation (AR) and a small pressure gradient. At surgery, findings of aortic valve, one normal left posterior commissure and very rudimentary right anterior commissure, was compatible with the uni-commisural aortic valve. Aortic root replacement with valve-sparing technique was performed. Four years later no residual AR was observed.
