2 Figure 1 A unicusp dysmorphic aortic valve with severe aortic stenosis (A) was repaired by removal of excessive fibrous tissue, commissurotomies, and 2 trigonal cusp extensions of autologous glutaraldehyde-treated pericardial patches (B). Recurrent overgrowths of the fibrous tissue occurred on the aortic cusps, and the balloon valvuloplasty resulted in tear of the larger cusp, with severe aortic insufficiency (C). The tear was repaired with an autologous glutaraldehyde-treated pericardial patch (D). LCA, Left coronary artery; RCA, right coronary artery.
