Pulmonary position cryopreserved homograft in non-Ross patients: how to improve the results?
OBJECTIVES The outcomes of homografts (HGs) in the reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in non-Ross patients are often considered disappointing, compared with Ross patients; and the risk factors for HG degeneration are still controversial. The objective of this study was to determine the durability and prognostic factors related to the HGs implanted in non-Ross patients ...
متن کاملIncreased pulmonary flow velocities in oversized homografts in patients after the Ross procedure.
OBJECTIVE Between September 1991 and July 1996, 60 patients (mean age 29.8 +/- 9 years; range 5-57) underwent aortic root replacement with pulmonary autograft, a viable biologic and nondegenerating substitute. The pulmonary root was replaced with cryopreserved homografts from cardiac transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in early valve function of viable and c...

متن کاملRoss procedure
INTRODUCTION In 1967 Donald Ross introduced the subcoronary Ross procedure consisting of transplantation of the autologous pulmonary valve into aortic position. We describe our 15-year experience in Ross procedures. METHODS 576 subcoronary operations have been performed (436 male and 140 female patients); the mean age was 45±11.9 years. (range, 13 to 70 years). The mean follow-up was 7±4.2 ye...
