Abstract
In adults, the “inclusion-cylinder” Ross-procedure is a good alternative for mild to moderate aortic root hypoplasia. However, for cases with severe LVOT obstruction, a Ross-Konno is not possible with the same method of autologous support used in a non-Konno RP, and this could be expected to have an impact on late durability and the need for further intervention, in a group that has already undergone multiple procedures in childhood. Both methods of RP and Konno-AVR lead to excellent early and late results.
