Abstract
The Ross procedure is a safe, effective, and anti-coagulation-free alternative for aortic valve replacement across all age groups. Long-term survival and preservation of heart function are highly favorable. Surgical mortality is related to salvage procedures in infants. When feasible, autograft durability can be improved by using a Hemashield graft for support.
