Park's stitch for a bicuspid aortic valve in a patient on LVAD support

Daniel Maoz-Metzl et al. J Card Surg. 2014 Nov.

Abstract

A central coaptation stitch (Park's stitch) is a simple surgical option in the management of aortic insufficiency in patients with left ventricular assist devices. We describe a 66-year-old male with aortic insufficiency and a bicuspid aortic valve undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation. His aortic insufficiency was successfully addressed with a Park's stitch.
