Ross procedure and ventricular septal defect correction with prolapsed cusp.
We present the case of an asymptomatic 31-year-old man with perimembranous ventricular septal defect and aortic insufficiency due to a prolapsed right cusp. The ventricular septal defect was corrected with the rotation of the right cusp, and the Ross procedure was performed for the aortic insufficiency. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. At immediate and first year follow-up examinations he presented with trivial aortic insufficiency and no residual ventricular septal defect. The patient remains asymptomatic with no medication.
