ABSTRACT
Aortic valve replacement in young patients has its problems. Biologic prosthetic valves degenerate and need replacement. Metalic prosthetic valves are more durable, however, anticoagulation which has its inherent problems is inevitable. The use of Ross procedure in young patients is gaining wider acceptance. The need of foreign pulmonary valve in right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) will require reoperation due to RVOT obstruction, later. To overcome this problem, we reimplanted the native aortic valve in the pulmonary position in 21 year old female patient operated on utilizing the Ross procedure for aortic insufficiency. We experienced that the diseased aortic valve worked well in the pulmoanry position because of low pulmonary artery pressure and resistance.
