Abstract

Although the Ross procedure has experienced renewed interest in recent years as a treatment for aortic valve pathology, the operation does require repeat interventions throughout a lifetime, of which patients and providers should be aware. This Invited Expert Opinion piece summarizes data related to reoperations after the Ross procedure and highlights technical components for these operations. Institutional review board approval and informed consent were both waived.
