Abstract

Objective: To compare outcomes of the Ross procedure in patients older than and younger than 50 years of age. Methods: This is a review of patients who underwent a Ross procedure at a participating site in the North American Ross Consortium. Data were analyzed for differences in short- and medium-term outcomes. Results: < .001); however, was overall excellent at 96%. Conclusions: The Ross procedure can be safely performed in patients older than 50 years in select centers. There is a greater risk of stroke and postoperative atrial fibrillation/flutter in older patients; however, perioperative survival is similar.
