<p>A 4 year old girl was presented with the respiratory tract infection, breathlessness after taking meal, failure to thrive, abnormal movement of the chest on left side overlying the area of heart and systolic murmur. She developed these symptoms gradually for the last 3.5 years. Echocardiography revealed doubly committed subarterial ventricular septal defect with moderate aortic regurgitation. The size of the ventricular septal defect was 7 x 9 mm at the left ventricular outflow tract. The right coronary cusp of the aortic valve was prolapsed. Left atrium and left ventricle were dilated. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 35 mm Hg. The ventricular septal defect was closed with the standard surgical procedure using cardiopulmonary bypass followed by aortotomy and right atriotomy. Immediate post-operative period of this case was uneventful and the patient was discharged on 9<sup>th</sup> post-operative day. Follow-up echocardiography showed no residual ventricular septal defect or aortic regurgitation and the ventricular function was good.</p>

Aortic valve repair in children is a challenge. We have adopted a technique of single aortic cusp extension with an autologous pericardial strip in patients diagnosed with severe aortic insufficiency (AI) associated with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). The purpose of this study was to report the short-term outcomes. Seven patients were operated on between January 2002 and December 2003. The mean age was 11.28 ± 2.1 years (range 8–14 years). The VSD was closed with a synthetic patch. Aortic cusp extension was performed at the right coronary cusp in 6 patients and the remainder had a non-coronary cusp extension. The mean diastolic arterial pressure increased from 35.71 ± 6.09 to 74.28 ± 7.31 mm Hg after the operation ( p < 0.001). The postoperative grade of AI was trivial in 4 patients, mild in 1 patient and non-existent in 2 patients. The mean follow-up period was 12.85 ± 6.12 months (range 2–20 months). This technique is very effective in patients with severe AI associated with a VSD. However, long-term durability will need to be carefully followed.
