The ideal aortic valve substitute for young and middle-aged adults remains elusive. The
Ross procedure (pulmonary autograft replacement) is the only operation that allows …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the incidence of infective
endocarditis (IE) in right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery conduits and valves, comparing …

Background Treatment of aortic-valve disease in young patients still poses challenges. The
Ross procedure offers several potential advantages that may translate to improved long …

Background: There are several options available for aortic valve replacement (AVR), with
few comparative reports in the literature. The optimal choice for AVR in each age group is …

Background: The ideal aortic valve substitute in young and middle-aged adults remains
unknown. We sought to compare the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing the Ross …

Background: It is unclear whether the Ross procedure offers superior survival compared with
mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Objectives: This study evaluated experience …

Objective The study objective was to examine the long-term results of the Ross procedure in
a cohort of patients followed prospectively for more than 2 decades. Methods From 1990 to …

Importance The Ross procedure as treatment for adults with aortic valve disease (AVD) has
been the subject of renewed interest. Objective To evaluate the long-term clinical and …

Objectives It is hypothesized that by performing radical aortic root manipulation and then
autologous support for the pulmonary autograft in the Ross procedure, this will maintain …
