  • Title: A New Technique of Aortoventricular Patch Enlargement and Root Replacement for Annular Hypoplasia.
    Author: Pfeifer J, Rentzsch A, Matsushima S, Giebels C, Ricciardi G, Abdul-Khaliq H, Schäfers HJ.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2022 May; 113(5):e339-e341. PubMed ID: 34283962.
    Abstract:
    The Ross-Konno operation is effective for enlargement of a hypoplastic aortic annulus and left ventricular outflow tract. It is, however, an invasive operation with the potential for early and late cardiac morbidity. We propose a new technique of annular and outflow tract enlargement that avoids the septal incision while effectively opening up the outflow tract and aortic annulus.
