The treatment of aortic valve disease has evolved, and it is expected that TAVR will be available to most patients in the next few years. However, TAVR with a bioprosthesis will continue to be indicated and used. It is well documented that the use of a small valve, particularly in young patients, presents clinical challenges.

This video demonstrates a single leaflet neocuspidization technique for a destroyed aortic valve leaflet due to infective endocarditis in a patient with adult congenital heart disease. This technique not only gives the advantage of maximal preservation of normal native tissue of the aortic valve complex but also avoids the use of a prosthetic valve and its related complications, particularly in females of childbearing age.
