Abstract:
We describe a case of postoperative aortic valve regurgitation (AR) after arterial awitch operation (ASO) successfully managed by the modified Konno procedure. A 4-year-old girl with complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA, Type II) had undergone the ASO (LeCompte maneuver) at 10 days of age. Because of progression of moderate AR 4 years after ASO, the modified Konno procedure with aortic valve replacement (SJM 21mm) was successfully performed. She remains in good clinical condition at the last follow-up at 5 years.
