Ross procedure using pulmonary autograft with a previous prosthetic patch.

The case described is of a 7-year-old boy with recurrent long-segment left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Due to previous pulmonary artery band stenosis and subsequent repair with a prosthetic patch, the pulmonary root was not intact. In this complicated Ross-Konno operation, the prosthetic patch was replaced with autologous tissue and the repaired pulmonary root was used successfully as an autograft.

Aortic root abscess with aortico-mitral discontinuity after a ross operation in a child: reconstruction with an oversized homograft.

A case of early neo-aortic root abscess following a Ross operation in a 3(1/2)-year-old child is described. The infection destroyed neo-aortic wall with two of the semilunar leaflets detached, and the abscess cavity extended across the intervalvular fibrous body into the left atrium and onto the native mitral valve creating partial "aortico-mitral discontinuity." Reconstruction was successful with an oversized cryopreserved homograft.
