J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2024 Feb;65(1):76-78. doi: 10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12725-5. Epub 2024 Feb 12.

Abstract

Pulmonary homograft dysfunction is challenging to treat in patients with a previous Ross procedure, and results in significant morbidity and mortality in case of reoperation. We report the case of a patient with early severe pulmonary homograft stenosis 18 months after a Ross procedure and successful management using transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.
