The 180° commissural reorientation of the asymmetrical bicuspid aortic valve does not improve the transvalvular aortic gradient in an acute model at rest conditions, but it could do so under stress situations. Even if it is surgically more complex and time-consuming, this approach could be a good strategy to improve long-term results, particularly in young patients.
