Marco Franciulli, MD, Diana Aicher, MD, Tanja Rädle-Hurst, MD, Hiroaki Takahashi, MD, PhD, Svetlana Rodionycheva, MD, Hans- Joachim Schäfers, MD, PhD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 98, Issue 3, Pages (September 2014) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2014 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 Drawing of the initial operative steps. The unicuspid valve is characterized by one normal and two rudimentary commissures. A tongue of aortic tissue is left adjacent to the normal commissure and opposite that commissure. The coronary ostia are mobilized (dashed lines).

Fig 2 Drawing of the next operative steps. The hypoplastic right cusp including its commissural zones is resected. A Dacron graft is tailored to create two symmetric tongues that are then brought into the root and sutured to the remnants of aortic wall.

Fig 3 Drawing of the completed procedure. Using pericardial patches, the two cusps have been reconstructed to create a symmetric bicuspid design with two commissures of normal height.
