Abstract
Alternate approaches for aortic valve procedures are rare but occasionally used in cardiac surgery because of previous mediastinum radiotherapy or other procedures that preclude median sternotomy. We present one case of right lateral thoracotomy for membrane subaortic stenosis resection in a child with a restrosternal gastric tube.
