Trileaflet semilunar valve reconstruction is sufficient and non-stenotic. It resulted in an increased coaptation length and a windmill shape, which is speculated to decrease with the growth of the patient, yet remains sufficient as a transitional procedure until a long-term solution is feasible. Further in vivo investigations are warranted.
