Aortic valve repairs are interventions correcting aortic regurgitation without the use of artificial heart valves. Avoiding of aortic

valve replacement eliminates valve related risks but is, however, associated with uncertain long-term durability of the repair.

A task for preoperative and especially intraoperative echocardiography is to detect the predictors of late failure of aortic valve repair.

Keywords: aortic valve repair, transesophageal echocardiography, aortic regurgitation, bicuspid aortic valve
