The remodeling of sinus of Valsalva( Yacoub operation) is being standardized by adding annular fixation and technique for cusp prolapse as a refined method of valve sparing aortic root repair. It is important to design whole configurations of Valsalva sinus( diameters of aortic annulus and sino-tubular junction) according to the patient's geometric height (geometric height-oriented strategy). In this paper, we summarized our tips of remodeling of sinus of Valsalva operation.
