Aortic Valve Surgery in the Young Patient – a Look at The Ross Procedure

There are many factors that go into decision making when aortic valve surgery is needed in the young patient – both adults and children. Dr. Hani Najm, Dr. Gosta Pettersson, and Dr Eric Roselli discuss the Ross Procedure, patient selection with shared decision making, surgical techniques to prevent future failure, advantages and considerations, alternative options, the impact of TAVR on surgical choice, considerations when other valves are affected, and what happens if the ross procedure fails over time – how to get the best outcome with a reoperation.
