Abstract
A 19-year-old girl with bicuspid aortic valve and Turner-like stigmata underwent a successful repair with a cusp extension technique using fresh autologous pericardium for aortic insufficiency. She also had a simultaneous artificial graft replacement for ascending aortic dilatation. Aortic valve function showed no significant stenosis and slight insufficiency 2 years postoperatively. This technique is recommended to avoid a Ross or Ross/Konno procedure because of its ready availability, simplicity and excellent midterm results.
