Ross procedure in an infant.
The Ross procedure is gaining acceptance as the procedure of choice for aortic valve replacement in children. We present the case of a 4-month-old child (weight 3.2 kg) suffering from congenital valvar aortic stenosis who underwent a Ross procedure. We believe that this is the youngest patient to have undergone this procedure successfully in the Indian subcontinent.
