Aneurysm formation in the left ventricular outflow tract related to the proximal end of the pulmonary autograft after the Ross procedure was present in 2 patients. Both occurred late after operation and were associated with prolapse of a leaflet of the autograft and significant regurgitation. Both were repaired with no immediate complications. There was no evidence of infection at time of operation. The probable mechanisms underlying this complication and the possibilities of avoiding it are discussed.
