13-year follow-up of total aortic cusp replacement for paediatric aortic valve regurgitation: a case report
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 August 2025
Abstract
Long-term results of total aortic cusp replacement such as the Ozaki procedure in paediatric patients have rarely been reported. We describe the 13-year follow-up of a 9-year-old boy with aortic valve regurgitation who underwent total aortic cusp replacement without the need for reintervention. His aortic valve regurgitation is mild with peak pressure gradient of 22 mmHg at the last follow-up.
