  • Title: Aortic valve replacement with a pulmonary autograft: case studies of the Ross procedure.
    Author: Scott C, Schactman M, Graver LM.
    Journal: Am J Crit Care; 1997 Nov; 6(6):418-22. PubMed ID: 9354218.
    Abstract:
    The Ross procedure is an old surgical technique that is gaining popularity some 30 years after its introduction. The patient's own pulmonary valve is essentially used as a "spare part" to replace the diseased aortic valve. The Ross procedure has become an accepted and attractive option for patients with a life expectancy of more than 20 years and for patients in whom long-term treatment with anticoagulants is undesirable or problematic. Careful preoperative evaluation and postoperative management, as well as proficient surgical techniques, are all necessary to achieve good outcomes.
