title: Aortico-left ventricular tunnel: late reoperations.
abstract: Aortico-left ventricular tunnel is a rare congenital anomaly that presents as aortic regurgitation in infancy or childhood. Information on late results of surgery, especially with reoperations for progressive aortic regurgitation and recurrences are limited. The case histories of two patients with reoperations following correction of aortico-left ventricular tunnel are reported.
