Redo Valve-Sparing Root Replacement for Delayed Cusp Derangement from Ventricular Septal Defect. The Annals of thoracic surgery Zhu, Y., Cohen, J. E., Ma, M., Woo, Y. J. 2019

Abstract

A 28-year-old gentleman with ventricular septal defect (VSD), double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) with associated right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) underwent resection of the DCRV, trans-aortic VSD repair, and unroofing of anomalous RCA. Two years later, he returned with delayed presentation of VSD flow funnel related aortic cusp prolapse and symptomatic severe aortic regurgitation. He underwent reoperative valve-sparing aortic root replacement and aortic cusp repair with an excellent outcome.
