Repair of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with the triple patch technique (Empanada Patch).

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The Ross procedure involves replacing a patient's diseased aortic valve with their own pulmonary valve. The most common failure mode is dilatation of the autograft. Various strategies to reinforce the autograft have been proposed. Personalized external aortic root support has been shown to be effective in st...
