Abstract
A method of radical enlargement of the aortic root and outflow tract is described. The technique consists of incising the aortic annulus, the anterior mitral leaflet, and the superior aspect of the left atrium. Valve replacement is then possible, with patch reconstruction of the resulting defects.Mesh:
