Aortic homograft valve replacement for postendocarditis aortic incompetence in early childhood. A case report. 1978

C H Anyanwu, and P Adams, and R Radley-Smith, and M Yacoub

A case of postendocarditis aortic incompetence with congenital ventricular septal defect in a 21-month-old child, treated successfully by homograft aortic valve replacement and closure of the ventricular septal defect, is reported. It appears that no similar case has previously been reported in the UK.
