Abstract:
An 11-year-old girl had undergone an aortic valve replacement for congenital aortic stenosis with #17 Björk-Shiley valve and aortic ring enlargement by Nick's method eight years later, the pressure gradient across the prosthetic valve increased up to 100 mmHg. Re-aortic valve replacement was successfully performed with #21 St. Jude Medical valve, when aortic valve ring increased to accommodate #21 SJM valve.
