  • Title: Repair of congenital pulmonary incompetence by bicuspidization of the pulmonary valve.
    Author: Kadri MA, Lazzara RR, McLellan BA, Starr A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1997 May; 63(5):1482-3. PubMed ID: 9146357.
    Abstract:
    We report the successful repair of pulmonary incompetence in an adult due to the congenital absence of the posterior leaflet of the pulmonary valve. The repair consisted of bicuspidization of the pulmonary valve, which achieved competence and eliminated the symptoms and echocardiographic manifestations of right ventricular overload while preserving the native valve.
