Rheumatic valve disease is an endemic problem that is responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality in many countries. Unlike the rheumatic mitral valve, aortic repair continues to be challenging. A thorough understanding of the underlying mechanisms; structural and functional, is essential for repair. We here describe various methods of repair and outline our favoured techniques.
