Quadruple Valve Reoperation after the Ross Procedure

J Heart Valve Dis. 2016 Jan;25(1):112-113.

Abstract

Reoperations after the Ross procedure are rare, with autograft as well as homograft failure being the dominant causes for redo cardiac procedures. Due to increasing experience with valve-sparing aortic valve procedures, more valves can be preserved during redo surgery. Herein are reported the details of a patient who underwent quadruple valve reoperation comprising redo with a reconstructive approach after the short-term failure of pulmonary autograft and homograft with concomitant mitral and tricuspid regurgitation.
