Successful Repair of a Bicuspid Pulmonary Autograft Valve Causing Early Insufficiency after a Ross Procedure
Articolo
Data di Pubblicazione:

Abstract:
The Ross procedure is an excellent option in terms of
long-term outcomes for young patients requiring aortic
valve replacement. We report the case of a 49-year-old
woman who presented with worsening dyspnea and episodes
of presyncope in the context of a patient-prosthesis
mismatch, 13 years after mechanical aortic valve
replacement. She underwent a Ross procedure despite
the pulmonary valve being bicuspid at intraoperative
examination. Following implantation, the autograft valve
showed an eccentric jet of regurgitation requiring
bicuspid valve repair. To our knowledge, this is the first
reported case of successful repair of a bicuspid pulmonary
autograft valve.
