Conejero A1 Fernandez-Carbonell, Azahara A1 Castillo, Joaquin Dominguez del A1 Martin, Marta Yaguee K1 Aortic insufficiency K1 Ross procedure K1 Aortic valve repair K1 Aortic-valve repair K1 Children AB Repair of aortic valve insufficiency in paediatric patients presents a low surgical risk, although long-term results are unsatisfactory. Aortic valve replacement, using the Ross technique, reduces the risk of re intervention. However, Ross results are worse in young children, compared to older children and adults. Our current strategy is to try valve repair, as a 'palliative >> procedure, especially during the first years of life, to perform valve replacement at an older age. We present the case of a repair of aortic valve insufficiency, in a one-year-old patient, as a bridge to Ross, along with a review of our experience.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U. on behalf of Sociedad Espanola de Cirugia Cardiovascular y Endovascular.
