We tried to manage both concerns in one operation. Due to severe AS, Aortic Root Enlargement (ARE) is commonly used for aortic valve replacement to prevent Patient-Prosthetic Mismatch (PPM). Konno-Rastan’s (K-R’s) operation is a common procedure of ARE which can be used to resolve the two complications of AS and obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). Morrow’s procedure is also a general standard operation for HCM.
