Abstract

The Ross-Konno procedure is a durable solution for multilevel LVOTO in a highly complex patient population with high incidence of previous procedures. High early mortality rates in patients with impaired left ventricular function emphasize the importance of patient selection. Freedom from reoperation shows a continuous attrition rate. Reoperation for autograft failure may occur late after the Ross-Konno procedure.
