title: Repair of bicuspid aortic valve with severe regurgitation.
abstract: To improve the success rate and reproducibility of bicuspid aortic valves, we apply a systematic segmental approach to their repair. A segmental analysis of the morphology is followed by corresponding pathology specific corrections of each morphological abnormality contributing to regurgitation.
