Selective tricuspidization and aortic cusp extension valvuloplasty: Outcome analysis in infants and children
2010, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The concentration and duration of treatment with glutaraldehyde did change during the study period. Currently, a 0.625% glutaraldehyde solution for a shorter duration (3 minutes) is used, compared with our early experience [22]. This might promote increased pericardial pliability and minimizes the incidence of excessive stiffness and early calcification of the reconstructed cusps.

Aortic cusp extension valvuloplasty with or without tricuspidization in children and adolescents: Long-term results and freedom from aortic valve replacement
2010, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In our early series, the pericardial extensions were often heavily calcified and contracted, presumably contributing to progressive post-ACEV aortic valve dysfunction. Currently, the pericardium is treated with 0.625% glutaraldehyde solution for shorter duration (3 minutes), compared with our early experience,20 and kept moist with normal saline. This might promote increased pericardial pliability and decrease the incidence of restenosis; however, the effect of this modification has yet to be determined.
Neonatal isolated critical aortic valve stenosis: Balloon valvuloplasty or surgical valvotomy
2006, Heart Lung and CirculationOutcome of aortic valve repair in children with congenital aortic valve insufficiency
2004, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :There must be enough leaflet tissue of satisfactory quality to allow restoration of normal coaptation. Aortic valve repair with cusp extension with autologous or bovine pericardium has been described, with what seems excellent initial success.8-10 Long-term results, however, are not yet available.
