The Ross operation can be adapted for young patients with complex aortic valve disease, even with active endocarditis. Specialized techniques ensure the procedure

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Complex aortic valve disease in young patients presents significant management challenges.
  • The Ross operation offers potential benefits but requires specific technical adaptations for complex cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review surgical techniques enabling the Ross operation in young patients with complex aortic valve and root pathology.
  • To evaluate midterm outcomes of these specialized Ross operation techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical techniques for the Ross operation in complex aortic valve disease.
  • Inclusion of aortic annulus reduction, fixation, and ascending aorta replacement.
  • Application of special techniques for active endocarditis cases.

  • Analysis of midterm results in 84 patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful adaptation of the Ross operation in 84 young patients with complex aortic valve disease.
    • Midterm outcomes were evaluated for patients undergoing these specialized procedures.
    • Specific techniques were detailed for managing active endocarditis in conjunction with the Ross operation.

    Conclusions:

    • The Ross operation can be successfully utilized in young patients with complex aortic valve and root disease.
    • Specialized surgical techniques, including annulus reduction and ascending aorta replacement, are crucial.
    • The procedure is feasible even in the presence of active endocarditis, with acceptable midterm results.
