Abstract
The article discusses a 21-year-old patient with Laubry-Pezzi syndrome who underwent a Ross procedure due to dysfunction of a mechanical aortic valve originally implanted for a congenital malformation. The Ross procedure, using the patient’s own pulmonary valve, offers advantages for young patients. Despite successful valve replacement, the patient experienced a post-operative ischemic stroke which resolved with anticoagulation. The case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and close monitoring for optimal outcomes, contributing valuable insights to the management of similar conditions.
