Abstract

The word “annuloplasty” derives from the Latin word anus or anulus meaning “ring” [1, 2] and the Greek word plastia from plastos meaning “molded” [3]. The official definition of “annuloplasty” is “surgical reconstruction of an incompetent cardiac valve” [1]. More generally, it means “plastic repair of a cardiac valve by shortening the circumference of its annulus” [2]. However, in practical surgical situations, a valve annulus can either be enlarged or reduced. Accordingly, we will discuss reduction and augmentation aortic annuloplasty in this chapter.
