Abstract:
A three-week-old neonate underwent aortic valve replacement with a pulmonary autograft (Ross procedure). The right ventricular outflow tract was reconstructed with a downsized pulmonary allograft. The surgical technique is presented. Six months after operation the girl is doing well and both the autograft and allograft function are excellent.
