- Abstract
- We report a case of successful heterograft aortic valve replacement following an impede Ross procedure in a 48-year-old man presenting with a congenital bicuspid pulmonary valve. The patient was admitted for aortic valve stenosis that required an aortic valve replacement (AVR). Owing to his young age and reluctance to long-term anticoagulation therapy, it was decided to do an AVR by pulmonary autograft. During surgery, the anatomical unsuitability of the graft was discovered leading to the procedure's readjustment.
