Abstract
The Rastelli procedure is a low-risk operation with regard to early and late mortality and reoperation for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Conduit change operations will be required in most patients regardless of the technique of repair, but currently can be performed with low morbidity and mortality. These midterm outcomes after the Rastelli operation should serve as a basis for comparison with surgical alternatives more recently introduced for transposition of the great arteries and ventricular septal defect with RVOT obstruction.
