Abstract

Nine pediatric patients received an adult size cryopreserved pulmonary homograft for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction as part of the Ross procedure. The early postoperative results are excellent. It is suggested that a full, adult size pulmonary homograft should be used in the future in pediatric patients undergoing the Ross procedure.
