Publication date: January 2020Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Volume 109, Issue 1Author(s): Safak Alpat, Keir A. Forgie, Isabelle VonderMuhll, Darren H. FreedAortico-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 3 decades after the repair of aortico-left ventricular tunnel.
