Isolated bicuspid aortic valve repair with double annuloplasty: The French approach

Isolated aortic valve repair is an alternative to aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic regurgitation. It reduces the risk of prosthesis-related complications, such as thromboembolism and endocarditis, and there is no need for long-term oral anticoagulation. However, repair techniques are technically demanding, especially in bicuspid aortic valves.
