Key result
Yasui takedown with anatomic repair using native pulmonary trunk succeeds without recurrent AS or PR.
Case Report (n=1)
Takedown of a Yasui operation with anatomic repair using the native pulmonary trunk is feasible and can result in an uneventful postoperative course without recurrent stenosis or regurgitation.

Suggests native aortic valve growth may eventually permit elective Yasui takedown in select pediatric patients.
We present a 6-year-old girl with neoaortic route stenosis and neoaortic valve regurgitation following a Yasui operation. Despite progressive neoaortic route obstruction, systemic output was maintained through the native aortic valve, which grew sufficiently over time to allow an elective Yasui takedown. The Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis was disconnected, the aortic arch was patched, and the Yasui baffle was removed, restoring neoaortic valve leaflet mobility. The right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit was removed and the right ventricular outflow tract was reconstructed using the native pulmonary trunk after closing a diminished ventricular septal defect. The postoperative course was uneventful, without recurrent aortic stenosis or pulmonary regurgitation.

Shimizu et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Neoaortic route stenosis and neoaortic valve regurgitation following a Yasui operation (n=1). Yasui takedown with anatomic repair using the native pulmonary trunk was evaluated on Postoperative course and recurrence of aortic stenosis or pulmonary regurgitation. Yasui takedown with anatomic repair using the native pulmonary trunk was successfully performed, resulting in an uneventful postoperative course without recurrent aortic stenosis or pulmonary regurgitation.
