3 Fig 2 The time course (horizontal axis) and degree of aortic valve regurgitation (shaded areas) for the 16 patients is shown for the 16 patients (dashed line) preoperatively (Pre-Op), just before hospital discharge after valve-sparing root reconstruction (Early), and during follow-up. Two patients had mild or greater aortic regurgitation before their operation. All patients had a satisfactory early result. Greater-than-mild aortic regurgitation developed in 2 patients with bicuspid aortic valves, as noted on echocardiographic studies at 5 months and 3 years after their operations.
