The Konno-Rastan operation is performed for relief of complex left ventricular outflow obstruction with a small aortic annulus. When associated with situs inversus and dextrocardia, important aspects should be kept in mind due to the mirror-image anatomy. In this report, we present a case of a 10-year-old child with the diagnosis of recurrent diffuse subaortic stenosis and situs inversus and dextrocardia who underwent the Konno-Rastan operation successfully and was asymptomatic with normal physical activity after a follow-up period of one year.
Konno-Rastan operation is the treatment of choice for relief of complex
left ventricular outflow obstruction, especially in those with a small
aortic annulus. In this report, we present a case of a ten-year-old boy
with the diagnosis of recurrent diffuse subaortic stenosis and
dextrocardia who underwent Konno-Rastan operation successfully.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
