Abstract OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the outcome after modified subcoronary Ross/Ross–Konno operation in children and young adults. METHODS Between January 2013 and January 2019, a total of 50 patients with median age of 6.3 years (range 0.02–36.5 years, 58% males), including 10 infants (20%), received modified subcoronary Ross/Ross–Konno operation at our institution. Survival, morbidity, reinterventions, aortic valve function and aortic root dimensions were analysed. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 31.2 months (range 14.4–51 months), there were 1 early death and 1 late death, both in the infant group. The overall survival at 5 years after the operation was 95%. Two patients needed aortic valve replacement, 11 and 15 months after their Ross operation. At 5 years, freedoms from reoperation on the autograft and on the right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit were 94% and 97%, respectively. Freedom from aortic valve regurgitation greater than mild was 97% at 5 years. Median dimensions of the aortic root at all levels remained in normal range at last visit. Forty-four patients (95%) were in New York Heart Association class I with normal left ventricular function. CONCLUSIONS The initial experience with the subcoronary Ross/Ross–Konno operation in children and young adults showed excellent outcome. The mortality and morbidity among infants remain significant. The described technique is reproducible and might be advantageous in situations when prosthetic supporting techniques interfere with somatic growth.
