Yanagawa and colleagues review the current understanding of factors that predict the failure of aortic valve repair. They highlight factors that include unaddressed annular dilatation, residual cusp prolapse, commissural orientation, and the use of patch material, and they note that better understanding of these repair elements results in continually refined techniques that can improve patient outcomes.
