Abstract
Young patients with the Ross operation had good mid-term autograft function and no perioperative mortality. Factors that justify the choice of the Ross operation for young patients are the normal physiologic hemodynamics and growth of the autograft as well as freedom from anticoagulation. A 10% reoperation rate, elevated pulmonary homograft gradients, and the surgical complexity remain limiting factors.
