Abstract
A patient with transposition of the great arteries and a ventricular septal defect underwent an arterial switch operation 15 months after pulmonary artery banding. At 12 years of age, severe neoaortic valve regurgitation, due to dilated aortic sinuses and poor leaflet coaptation, developed. Aortic valve repair involved placement of subcommissural sutures, elliptical excision and tailored reduction of two anterior aortic sinuses, with triangular patch expansion of the proximal ascending aorta. A good result was obtained.
