Abstract
The Ross–Konno procedure has advantages in children, the main of which is the ability of an autograph to grow. However, the operation is not without flaws. The Ross procedure is are complex surgical procedure and long operation performed by an experienced surgeon. In addition, the ideal prosthesis for aortic valve replacement in children has not been found yet and a redo is required in any case. However, each prosthesis has their own characteristics – causes and timing of redo, and the risk of complications. However, in young patients, redo for valve replacement is inevitably required. In this paper we present an illustrative case of the surgical treatment in patient with development of neoaortic root regurgitation and degeneration of bioprostheses in the right ventricular outflow tract position 14 years prior to Ross–Konno procedure.
