• Nick’s Procedure

• Y incision and rectangular patch enlargement

Benefits of Aortic Root Enlargement:
By enlarging the aortic annulus, the surgeon can implant a valve prosthesis that is the right size based on the patient’s body surface area, resulting in less gradients between the aorta and the left ventricle. As a result, the patient’s left ventricle is remodelled and their functional status is improved.
