Ross procedure for severe congenital aortic regurgitation in a three-month-old patient.
We here describe the case of an infant with severe aortic regurgitation due to a congenital dysplastic aortic valve. Surgical treatment (autograft replacement of the aortic valve) was carried out when the patient was 3 months old. The technical aspects and the results of instrumental examination during follow-up are discussed.
