Background and Aims There is still no optimal strategy for aortic valve repair in children. To assess the safety and efficacy of an original surgical technique: Partial‐Ross procedure. Methods Eight pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve underwent the Partial‐Ross procedure. Results The patients were doing well at a longest duration of 58‐month follow‐up visit. There was no case with aortic stenosis and three cases with mild to moderate aortic regurgitation, which had no significant clinical impact. Conclusion Partial‐Ross procedure could be used as an alternative for aortic valve repair in children.
