The Ross procedure offers excellent immediate results for aortic valve replacement in young patients. Mid-term follow-up shows good functional class and no need for re-intervention in most survivors.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Aortic Valve Disease

Context:

  • The Ross procedure is a complex aortic valve replacement technique used in children and young adults.
  • Indications include isolated aortic valve disease and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
  • Many patients had prior surgical or percutaneous interventions.

Purpose:

  • To report the mid-term results of the Ross procedure performed at a single institution by the same surgical team.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Ross procedure in a pediatric and young adult population.

Summary:

  • Eighteen patients underwent the Ross procedure between 1999 and 2005, with a mean age of 12 years.
  • No early mortality was observed; late deaths occurred in 11% of patients.

  • 16 survivors were in NYHA class I or II, with no significant residual lesions or need for re-intervention at a median follow-up of 38 months.

    • Impact:

    • The Ross procedure demonstrates excellent immediate outcomes in this cohort.
    • Mid-term results suggest good functional recovery and durability, though longer follow-up is needed to assess homograft evolution and neo-aortic root dilation.
