- Abstract
- Cusp prolapse causing aortic insufficiency is associated with unique echocardiographic, clinical, and surgical features. Recognition and appropriate surgical repair of this pathologic condition can not only treat affected patients but also improve results of aortic valve-sparing procedures, for which pre-existing or induced cusp prolapse is an important cause of failure.
