AI Article Synopsis
- The Ross-Konno operation is a surgical procedure that helps enlarge a small aortic annulus and left ventricular outflow tract, but it comes with risks of heart complications.
- The operation is invasive and can lead to issues both shortly after and in the long term.
- A new technique is suggested that enlarges the aortic annulus and outflow tract without making a cut in the septum, potentially reducing risks.
Article Abstract
The Ross-Konno operation is effective for enlargement of a hypoplastic aortic annulus and left ventricular outflow tract. It is, however, an invasive operation with the potential for early and late cardiac morbidity. We propose a new technique of annular and outflow tract enlargement that avoids the septal incision while effectively opening up the outflow tract and aortic annulus.
