Ross procedure: Aortic valve replacement with pulmonary autograft (original) (raw)

2001, Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery

AI-generated Abstract

The Ross procedure, involving aortic valve replacement with a pulmonary autograft, is highlighted as a durable solution for aortic root pathology. The historical context indicates early trials with aortic homografts faced critical failures due to viability issues, leading to the shift towards pulmonary autografts, which offer benefits such as superior hemodynamics and reduced anticoagulation complications. However, complications exist, including stroke and endocarditis, alongside high long-term survival rates free from valve-related issues.
