Acute on chronic pulmonary autograft dissection

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We report a case of combined acute and chronic dissection limited to the pulmonary autograft 10 years after a Ross procedure, managed by replacement with a stentless porcine bioprosthesis. Implications for timing and technique of reintervention for pulmonary autograft dilatation are discussed.
