As in mitral valve repair, the development of differentiated repair concepts has stimulated further research into the mechanisms of aortic regurgitation. These results have in return contributed to further improvement of repair concepts. The editors and authors of this book have been actively involved in this dynamic evolution. They have created a book which not only contains up-to- date information on this topic but also highlights its important aspects with excellent illustrations. It is an important reference for e
