Leaflet plication (PL), triangular resection (TR), resuspension with running suture of Gore-Tex (GTx) and extension with autologous pericardial patch (PP) are different techniques to repair aortic leaflet prolapse (LP) for aortic insufficiency (AI). In this study, we report and compare the early and mid-term results of these techniques for aortic valve repair.
