Repair of the defects in the aortic sinus
Two defects which was produced in the facing sinuses of the pulmonary trunk were repaired using a single patch of the autologous pericardium and 6-0 polypropylene suture. The size of the patch is approximately one and a half times the size of the defect, thus enlarging the diameter of the proximal aorta to match the size of the distal pulmonary artery.
