The Ross Procedure

The Ross Procedure is a specialized cardiac surgery technique primarily used to treat aortic valve disease. The Ross Procedure involves the transplantation of a patient's own pulmonary valve (known as an autograft) to replace a diseased aortic valve. A donated human pulmonary valve (known as a homograft or allograft) is then used to replace the patient’s removed pulmonary valve.
