The Ross procedure for aortic valve repair can help you live an excellent quality of life. It replaces a nonfunctioning aortic valve with the pulmonary valve. A healthy donor valve replaces the original pulmonary valve. After recovering, many people live a healthy, active lifestyle for decades.
The Ross Procedure is a complex surgical technique used to treat aortic valve disease, primarily in younger individuals with aortic valve problems. In this procedure, the damaged aortic valve is replaced with the patient's own pulmonary valve, and a pulmonary valve replacement is then performed using a donated valve. This unique approach utilizes the patient's own tissue for the most critical valve, potentially providing improved durability and functionality.
