[Incising the Anterior Wall of the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract for Reoperation of the Aortic Root].
A 32-year-old man underwent the 3rd aortic root reoperation with incising the anterior wall of the right ventricular outflow tract. He has been doing well. To this day,aortic root reoperation remains challenging. This difficulty may stem from issues securing a physical space and a clear visual field for surgery, in addition to adhesions around the aortic root. In such complex cases, we incise the anterior wall of the right ventricular outflow tract. We have successfully treated seven patients using this method, demonstrating that it can secure physical space and improve the visual field for surgery.
