Abstract
RAMIREZ-CEDILLO, David et al. Konno-Rastan procedure in pediatric patient. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2023, vol.30, n.3, pp.212-215. Epub July 03, 2023. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.22000010.
Surgery for obstructive left ventricular outflow tract pathology with aortic valve disease and aortic annulus hypoplasia remains a surgical challenge. Various surgical techniques have been described for aortic annulus enlargement of which the Konno-Rastan procedure is an attractive option; however, it is not very often done due to the high degree of difficulty. It is presented the case of a 15-year-old female patient diagnosed with severe aortic valve stenosis and aortic annulus hypoplasia who underwent aortic annulus enlargement with the Konno-Rastan technique and aortic valve replacement.
