Ann Thorac Surg. 2004 Jun;77(6):2223-5. doi: 10.1016/S0003-4975(03)01279-7.

Abstract

The Ross-Konno procedure, applied to neonates with severe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, offers a satisfactory solution in fully releasing the LVOT gradient, and in replacing the aortic valve with a pulmonary autograft with an excellent growth potential. We reported on three recent neonatal cases.
