Outcomes after the Ross procedure with pulmonary autograft reinforcement by reimplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary autograft reinforcement to prevent dilatation and subsequent neo-aortic valve regurgitation has been reported; however, data on long-term function of the neo-aortic valve after this modified Ross procedure are lacking. Our objective here was to assess long-term outcomes of the modified Ross procedure with autograft reinforcement using the reimplantation technique.

Patients

The outcomes of 61 consecutive patients managed using the Dacron-conduit reinforced Ross procedure between 2009 and 2021 were reviewed. Most patients had a unicuspid or bicuspid aortic valve (n = 52; 85%), predominant aortic valve regurgitation (n = 42; 77%), and >30 mm dilatation of the ascending aorta (n = 33; 54%). A prior aortic valve procedure was noted in 47 patients (77%) patien
