Pulmonary autograft replacement of the aortic valve in neonates and infants is a high-risk operation but offers a durable neoaortic valve. Midterm durability reflects successful adaptation of the autograft to the systemic circulation. Late mortality associated with heart failure was an unexpected finding.
