Replacement of the aortic valve or root with a pulmonary autograft in children (original) (raw)

Abstract

years of age or younger underwent aortic valve or aortic root replacement with their own pulmonary valve. There were 27 male and 7 female patients. Age at operation ranged from 3 to 18 years (mean 2 standard deviation, 14 k 3.6 years). Previous surgical procedures on the left ventricular outflow tract included open aortic valvotomy
