Abstract:
This is a genuine case report of the Ross operation without the use of homografts or heterografts in reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. A 8-year-old boy with congenital aortic stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement with a pulmonary autograft and right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with a pericardial conduit bearing autologous aortic monocusp. The postoperative echocardiography and cardiac angiography revealed good ventricular function and competent neoaortic valve. He has been followed up for 19 months.
