Abstract:
Serial echocardiographic studies from 11 patients who underwent the Ross procedure were reviewed, and the rate of neoaortic annulus size increase was compared with that in a normal population. The rate of growth of the neoaortic annulus after the Ross procedure was significantly greater than that in the normal population.
