The Ross procedure with pulmonary autografts effectively treats complex left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in children. This surgical approach offers excellent short-term valve function and avoids anticoagulation, promoting future growth.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Aortic Valve Repair

Background:

  • Complex left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction presents a significant surgical challenge in pediatric patients.
  • The Ross procedure, combined with subaortic stenosis resection or Konno septal incision, is a key surgical option.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric patients (14 and 5 years old) with combined subaortic and valvar stenosis underwent surgical correction using the pulmonary autograft.
  • One patient had subaortic membrane resection with a pulmonary autograft; the other had a Ross Konno procedure.

Findings:

  • Both patients experienced uncomplicated postoperative hospital stays and were discharged within 5 days.
  • At 3-year follow-up, neither patient showed significant obstruction nor semilunar valve insufficiency.

Implications:

  • Pulmonary autografts are a viable option for reconstructing complex LVOT obstruction in children.
  • This technique provides excellent short-term valve function, relieves obstruction, avoids anticoagulation, and supports future patient growth.
