Abstract
In the setting of aortic regurgitation caused by leaflet prolapse, aortic valve replacement has traditionally been the recommended treatment. However, the advent of effective and durable leaflet repair techniques has enabled the repair of the regurgitant aortic valve. As for the mitral valve, repair has the potential to reduce the incidence of prosthesis-related complications including endocarditis, thromboembolism, anticoagulant-related hemorrhage, and reoperation. In this article, we describe our systematic approach to the assessment and repair of aortic leaflet prolapse.
