  • Title: A modified Ross operation to prevent pulmonary autograft dilatation.
    Author: Koul B, Al-Rashidi F, Bhat M, Meurling C.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2007 Jan; 31(1):127-8. PubMed ID: 17092738.
    Abstract:
    A modification in Ross operation is described in which the free-standing pulmonary autograft root is suspended in a Dacron prosthetic vascular jacket with a view to prevent dilatation of the neo-aortic root. In a group of 13 patients operated consecutively using this technique, there was no significant increase in the diameters of the neo-aortic root after a mean 16-month follow-up. Aortic valve function remained also satisfactory.
