  • Title: Minimally invasive Ross procedure through partial upper sternotomy.
    Author: Franke UF, Albert M, Rustenbach C, Baumbach H.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2009 Sep; 9(3):545-6. PubMed ID: 19491130.
    Abstract:
    The Ross procedure has gained increasing interest for therapy of aortic valve pathologies in young adults because of excellent long-term results. This case report describes the first published experiences of the Ross procedure performed through a minimally invasive access in two consecutive patients. The limited access is associated with only a slightly prolonged aortic cross-clamp time. Consequently, a minimal access method does not result in an increased risk for patients.
