1 Sinus Plication to Improve Valve Configuration in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Repair—Early Results 
Ulrich Schneider, MD, Wolfram Schmied, Dipl-Psych, Diana Aicher, MD, Christian Giebels, MD, Lena Winter, MD, Hans-Joachim Schäfers, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 103, Issue 2, Pages (February 2017) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Drawing of the operative principle of sinus plication. The fused sinuses are reduced in their basal circumference by a Teflon-pledgetted suture. Above the fused sinuses the aortotomy is closed by asymmetric placement of the sutures, thus shortening the aortic circumference on the root side of the incision.

3 Fig 2 (A) Intraoperative transesophageal short-axis view of a bicuspid aortic valve. The commissural angle of the noncoronary commissures is 130°. (B) Intraoperative transesophageal short-axis view of the same bicuspid aortic valve treated by sinus plication. The commissural angle of the noncoronary commissures is 155°.

4 Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier analysis of the 2 groups for freedom from reoperation (Re-OP). Valve stability is significantly improved with sinus plication (p = ). (w/o = without.)

5 Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier analysis of the 2 groups for freedom from aortic regurgitation (AR) grade II or higher. Valve stability is significantly improved with sinus plication (p = ). (w/o = without.)
