title: [Successful management of early aortic root abscess with aortic homograft implantation in children after Ross operation].
abstract: The Ross operation is the best surgical procedure for aortic valve replacement in children of all age groups. A 3.5 years old boy developed early autograft endocarditis (9 days) following a straightforward Ross operation. Due to progressive neo-aortic valve destruction and aortic root abscess extending to the mitral annulus and valve, the pulmonary autograft had to be removed. A cryopreserved aortic homograft with its attached mitral valve leaflet was used to reconstruct the left ventricular outflow tract and repair the native mitral valve defect.
