Nowadays, there is a growing interest in adult cardiac surgery regarding the neo-cuspidalization of the aortic valve according to the Ozaki technique.
Such interest is currently expanding also in the adolescent patient population and some cardiac surgeons have started to perform such operation in pediatric patients. Results are preliminary and the experiences need to be compared, bringing together the skills of both adult and pediatric field.
Purpose of this workshop is to compare these experiences, taking advantage of the presence of Professor Ozaki, inventor of the technique.
