Anatomic and functional aortic valvuloplasty for correction of aortic valve prolapse in ventricular septal defect with aortic insufficiency.

We describe a new procedure of aortic valvuloplasty for aortic valve prolapse in ventricular septal defect with aortic insufficiency syndrome. This technique allows an anatomic and functional aortic valve reconstruction that prevents late failure of aortic valve repair and reoperation. Midterm results demonstrate the feasibility and durability of this new procedure.
