We report the case of a presumed coronary-cameral fistula arising directly below the commissures of the noncoronary cusp (NCC) and left coronary cusp (LCC) of the pulmonary autograft, leading to left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm and late tamponade post Ross procedure.

Pulmonary autograft, or Ross procedure, is performed by supplanting a diseased aortic valve with the patient’s own pulmonary valve. Reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract is then completed using a pulmonary homograft. To our knowledge, infective endocarditis occurring decades after the Ross procedure has not been reported. Diligent echocardiographic examination can be crucial to ensure prompt treatment and avoid the 25% mortality rate associated with infective endocarditis. Clinical suspicion should remain high in those with a pulmonary autograft history. In this article, we report the case of a 39-year-old patient with infective endocarditis presenting 22 years after Ross procedure.

The Ross operation is the operation of choice for children and young adults who require aortic valve replacement. Although the allograft does not require anticoagulation and has a superior hemodynamic profile compared to other valve substitutes, concerns regarding allograft and autograft longevity have risen in the last decade. We present a case illustrating an alternative operative technique for patients with failed Ross procedure in which the autograft is recycled in order to avoid a two-allograft replacement.

For patients requiring intervention because of progressive disease of the aortic valve, the perfect palliation will provide a valve that produces normal dynamics of flow, will not require anti-coagulation, will grow with the patient, and have long term durability. Current surgical interventions include aortic valvoplasty, or replacement with either a mechanical or tissue prosthesis. Options for tissue valves include insertion of a pulmonary autograft in the Ross procedure, a cadaveric homograft, or porcine or bovine xenograft valves. The optimal option is still debated.
