Abstract
Aortic valve-sparing procedures demonstrate excellent valvular function at midterm. Recently authors have reported acceptable early results with aortic valve-sparing procedures on patients with regurgitant bicuspid valves. We report the case of a novel procedure to preserve bicuspid valves with a calcified raphe and root dilatation. This procedure includes raphe excision, pericardial patch elongation, free edge leaflet reinforcement, and a root reimplantation valve-sparing procedure.
