Abstract
Outcomes after the Ross procedure in children vary by age. Infants more commonly have complex left heart disease and experience higher mortality but have excellent long-term autograft durability. Children and adolescents have higher rates of left ventricular outflow tract reintervention, whereas infants are at highest risk of right ventricular outflow tract reintervention.
