Fig 1 Type of coaptation of the aortic valve as assessed by echocardiography. Type A has the coaptation point ≥ 2 mm within the prosthesis. Type B has coaptation close to the lower border of the Dacron graft. Type C has coaptation ≥ 2 mm below the prosthesis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , 29-33DOI: ( /S (01) )

Fig 2 Aortic insufficiency (AI) after 1 year of follow-up in relation to the type of coaptation (A, B, or C). A significantly higher (**p < 0.001) degree of regurgitation early as well as 1 year later was found in type C. (post-OP = postoperatively.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , 29-33DOI: ( /S (01) )
