Ross Procedure Introduction
The Ross Procedure is a type of heart surgery used to treat damaged aortic valves. In this procedure, the patient’s own pulmonary valve is used to replace the diseased aortic valve. A donor valve is then used to replace the pulmonary valve.
Advanced Valve Replacement with the Ross Procedure – A Dual-Valve Surgical Approach
The Ross Procedure involves removing the patient’s native aortic valve and replacing it with their own pulmonary valve (autograft). A cryopreserved donor valve (homograft) is then placed in the pulmonary position. This technique is done under general anesthesia and requires the use of a heart-lung bypass machine. Special tools such as valve retractors, cannulas, and surgical staplers are used during the operation. This procedure helps preserve the heart’s natural function and avoids the need for lifelong blood thinners. It is commonly performed in younger patients and those who lead active lifestyles.
Why It’s Done?
- To treat severe aortic valve stenosis or regurgitation.
- When the patient is young and needs a valve that can grow with the body.
- For patients who want to avoid long-term anticoagulant therapy.
- When other valve replacement options are unsuitable or have failed.
