At that time understanding of the normal and pathologic anatomy and function of the aortic valve was still limited; consequently the results of repair were unpredictable and replacement became the standard of care. Later better imaging techniques and more detailed understanding of aortic valve form and function provided the basis for further development. In the past 30 years reconstructive procedures for aortic regurgitation have evolved into an increasingly practiced alternative to valve replacement. Initially this was an approach primarily for patients with aortic dilatation and preserved cusps. In the past 15 years the evolution has progressed, and repair is now increasingly performed also in patients with isolated cusp disease or the combination of aortic dilatation and cusp prolapse. Thus, aortic valve repair is
