Ross procedure in rheumatic aortic valve disease☆

Ross procedure with a tissue-engineered heart valve in complex congenital aortic valve disease.

Time course of aortic valve function and root dimensions after subcoronary ross procedure for bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic valve disease.

BACKGROUND The freestanding aortic root, which is the currently preferred operative technique for pulmonary autografts, is reported to dilate and potentially promote aortic insufficiency, which has led to a controversial debate on the appropriate surgical technique, especially for congenital bicuspid aortic valve disease. Desirable data on the time course of valve function and root dimensions f...

Late dynamic right ventricular outflow obstruction after the Ross procedure for bicuspid aortic valve disease.

An asymptomatic 26-year-old man was under routine surveillance following a Ross procedure at 17 years of age for bicuspid aortic valve disease. During transthoracic echocardiography there was a suspicion of homograft stenosis following the finding of a high-velocity turbulent jet in the main pulmonary artery (MPA) (Figure 1A and 1B; online-only Data Supplement Movie IA and IB). The pressure gra...

Double Valve Replacement (Mitral and Aortic) for Rheumatic Heart Disease: A 20-year experience with 300 patients.

Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease still remains one of the leading causes of congestive heart failure and death owing to valvular pathologies, in developing countries. Valve replacement still remains the treatment of choice in such patients.The aim of this study wasto analyze the postoperative outcome of  double valve replacement (Mitral and Aortic ) in patients of rheumatic heart disease. ...

Infant Ross procedure for recurrent aortic stenosis.

A male infant underwent an open aortic valvotomy during the second day of life. Aortic stenosis recurred and at the age of eight weeks he underwent a pulmonary autograft aortic root replacement (Ross procedure). The pulmonary autograft procedure is a valuable option in this circumstance.
