Fig 1 Echocardiogram showing severe PV insufficiency. One of the PV leaflets is seen in the image. (AOV = aortic valve; MPA = main pulmonary artery; PR = pulmonary regurgitation; PV = pulmonary valve; RVOT = right ventricular outflow tract.)

Fig 2 (A) Patient underwent transannular patch repair with preservation of the PV leaflets. The patient returns with severe PV insufficiency. (B) Close up of the PV showing nicely formed leaflets with an anterior gap created by the transannular patch. (Ao = aorta; PV = pulmonary valve.)

Fig 3 (A) The transannular patch is excised. A double pledgeted suture is placed above the commissure on each side. (B) The pledgeted suture is tied to create a neocommissure. (C) The transannular incision is closed. (Ao = aorta.)
