Drawing of transected aorta showing top view of the aortic valve. Four strategies are shown for resecting a portion (shown with dashed lines) of the NC aortic root to try to compensate for an undersized RC leaflet: (A) triangular resection with base at the level of the commissures, (B) rectangular resection, (C) triangular resection with base at the level of the annulus, and (D) diamond-shaped resection.
