[III-PCV-06] Ross Procedure in children by using hand sewed PTFE valved conduits for pulmonary artery reconstruction
Object To explore the value and feasibility of the ROSS procedure in children with aortic valve diseases by using hand sewed PTFE valved conduits for pulmonary artery reconstruction.
Method From August 2006 to October 2015 , 15 children underwent Ross procedure. The classic root replacement was applied. The material for reconstruction of the pulmonary artery was pulmonary homograft in 4, aortic homograft in 1, bovine jugular vein conduit in 5, and hand sewed PTFE conduits in 5 cases.
Result All 15 cases survived after the Ross procedure. Two of them were bleeding after surgery with one case of chest re-exploration. The mean follow-up time was 75 months. 4 cases had various degree of calcification and obstruction of the valved RV-PA conduit. No event happened on the new aortic valve. Conclusion The Ross procedure is a good optional procedure for treating aortic valve diseases in children with acceptable outcomes.
