Background Repair failure remains one of the most important complications of aortic valve
reconstruction. Young patients might benefit from a Ross procedure in such a scenario …

Background The optimal aortic valve replacement for young and middle-aged adults
remains elusive. Although several high-volume international centers and surgeons have …

With recurrent interest in the Ross operation, Shih, Brinkman and co-authors analysed their
series of 225 Ross procedures performed over the past 25years [1]. At the outset, it is …

To define current role of the Ross operation in young patients, the outcome in those followed
longer than 20 years were assessed. Between 1994 and 2020, 81 consecutive patients, 70 …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify suitable patients for the Ross operation. METHODS: A
cohort of 212 patients (mean age, 34±9 years; 66% men; 82% with congenital aortic valve …

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 …

Methods: To test this hypothesis, 281 patients (mean age 24±9 years) who underwent a
Ross operation over a 16-year period were retrospectively analyzed. The patient population …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes following the
Ross procedure in young adults in our institution. METHODS All adult patients who received …

Background The Ross procedure was introduced as a long-term if not definitive solution for
aortic pathology. However, the rate of reoperation is not negligible. Methods This single …

Background The Ross procedure is an alternative for patients with aortic valve disease not
amenable to repair. Long-term follow-up after a Ross has demonstrated the need for …
