Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Three Decades After Repair of Aortico-Left Ventricular Tunnel.

Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Three Decades After Repair of Aortico-Left Ventricular Tunnel. Ann Thorac Surg. 2019 Jun 19;: Authors: Alpat S, Forgie KA, Muhll IV, Freed DH Abstract Aortico-left ventricular tunnel is a rare congenital anomaly requiring surgical repair early in childhood. After corrective surgery, such patients are at risk of developing aortic insufficiency and aortic root dilatation. Herein, we describe a valve-sparing aortic root replacement three decades after the repair of aortico-left ventricular tunnel. PMID: 31228410 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
