Background. Pulmonary autograft replacement of the aortic valve is accepted in the young, those with an active life style, and those who are not candidates for anticoagulation. However, concern remains about autograft or homograft valve failure.
Methods. One hundred ninety-five operative survivors of the Ross operation (August 1986 through December 1995) were reviewed for operative pathology and factors associated with reoperation or valve dysfunction.
Results. Actuarial freedom from reoperation (autograft or homograft) is 89% ± 3% at 5 years, 92% ± 3% for the autograft alone. Early autograft valve failures (<6 months) were due to technical error in 2 patients and persistent endocarditis in 1. Late autograft valve failure (1 to 6.2 years) was due to aortic annulus dilatation in 5 patients, bacterial endocarditis in 1, and valve degeneration in 2. Six autograft valves were replaced and five were repaired. Five patients required reoperation for pulmonary homograft stenosis (1 to 5.4 years) involving obstruction of the conduit distal to the pulmonary valve.
Conclusions. Pulmonary autograft replacement of the aortic valve has a low incidence of reoperation for autograft dysfunction or homograft obstruction. Autograft dysfunction can be corrected by autograft repair in patients with central insufficiency and aortic annular dilatation.
