During the surgery, the malfunctioning aortic valve is replaced with the patients own healthy pulmonary valvea technique called an autograftand the pulmonary valve replaced with donor tissue. Three patients underwent the Ross-Konno procedure, in which the left-sided outflow root is enlarged to fit the pulmonary autograft.
