Fig 1 Illustration of double flap valve patch in profile tailored with homologous aorta. The noncoronary leaflet and anterior mitral leaflet were reserved to form a large aortic patch with monovalve. The patch was tailored to the appropriate size according to the diameters of the ventricular septal defect and fenestrated above the nadir of noncoronary leaflet with diameters ranging from 4 to 8 mm.
